Provided Deliverables

Since the beginning of our project, we have provided different deliverables:

D9.2	Project QA Handbook The Project QA Handbook summarizes the way EnergyShield proposes to organize internal procedures. It aims to assist all potential contributors, from each partner level to work package leaders, and provide a common framework aiming at minimizing the administrative overhead.
D7.1	Communication Plan The Communication Plan structures the plan and execution of both internal and external communication of the project results through a variety of channels. This task also introduces the project website hosted at www.energy-shield.eu that will be used for communication and dissemination purposes.
D7.4	Dissemination Plan The Dissemination Plan describes how the EnergyShield project plans and implements dissemination activities. The strategy to follow up the activities alongside with the interaction with other tasks from WP7 and WP8 is presented. Moreover, dissemination resources and tools like branding, posters, publications, keynote speeches and event participation, digital resources, educational resources, development of a project video are further introduced.
