Deliverable 4.2 "Call for Champions" Toolkit

The Call for Champions marks a key transition in the COOPERATE Project, moving from Piloting Phase I to Phase II, with the aim of validating and refining the ERA Hub model. The CALL is designed to select two emerging ecosystems to participate in Phase II, building insights from the first piloting phase and co-creation sessions that helped define the ERA Hub. This initiative is part of the project's inverted funnel approach and contributes to the hands-on co- creation process with the extended Co-Design Task Force (CDTF). Additionally, the CALL supports the Communication and Outreach Strategy (see Deliverable 5.4 “Communication and Outreach Strategy”), facilitating the transfer of project results to a targeted stakeholder group. The selected ecosystems will play a vital role in testing and evaluating these results. Overall, this Deliverable 4.2 provides an overview of how the CALL has been conceptualized, drafted and managed; while emphasizing its synergies with Work Package 5, with special regard on how the CALL has been communicated and disseminated.
