Objectives
and input to workpackage
-
Dissemination
by training courses for end-users.
-
Dissemination
by workshops.
-
Dissemination
by end-user involvement in model applications.
-
Creation
of a project website and placement of relevant deliverables
on the site.
Description
of work
-
Training
courses on the models and procedures developed in WP2 and WP3
will be held for 10-12 staff of the project end-users.
-
Two
workshops will be held (one in Spain, one in Italy) to present
the project deliverables (including management guidelines) to
any interested party.
-
The
project end-users will be involved throughout the project as
data suppliers, recipients of the project results and advisors
on project objectives. They will gain an understanding of the
required data provision, the use of the data in model applications,
and model capabilities and limitations.
-
A
web site will be created which provides basic information on
project results as they become available, technical documents,
guidelines and prerequisites for model application, the databases,
appropriate model codes and demonstrations of model applications,
including GIS maps and impact mitigation analysis.
-
A
proposal will be prepared for a standard approach to collecting
data and carrying out rapid slope failure hazard and risk zonation
at the regional and local scale, as a means of introducing uniformity
into land use planning.
Deliverables
D10) End-users
trained in the project technologies.
D11) Project
technologies in the public domain.
D12) A
proposal for a standard approach to hazard and risk zonation.
Milestones
and expected result
Month
6: Website on line. To be maintained for 3 years after the project
ends.
Months
28-34: Workshops and training courses; proposal for standard methodology.
Result:
Transfer of project technology to end-users and the public domain;
contribution to formation of International Centre for Hydrogeological
Risks at University of Milan-Bicocca.
