Focus Group / Industry Collaboration:
The project needed a number of ‘gate keepers’ forming the Focus Group (FG) with the responsibility to monitor the quality of all project results. The FG reported to the project coordinator and delivered a final report with recommendations for fine-tuning all main deliverables. The FG has an objective view and consists of external experts but had no management task. Their objective assessment of the project’s activities and deliverables improved its quality and as per definition could not be done by the project partners . In total approx. 5 to 10 industry representatives were contracted as the focus group. These members were invited to participate in General Meetings, certainly on their ‘own’ continent and sometimes abroad.
