Role in the project
As ProtAct-Us focuses on reducing the long-term consequences of road crashes through influence policies, regulations, and standards for inclusive road safety improvements,
INOVA leads the “Dissemination, Standardisation & Exploitation” Work Package, which establishes a comprehensive communication and dissemination strategy, creates a strong identity, and leverages open science practices. It will also foster cooperation with relevant EU, national, and regional initiatives. A business and IPR plan will be developed to ensure the effective exploitation and standardization of project results. A standardised framework will also be created to assess personal injuries with long-term consequences, considering different road user types and injury profiles.
INOVA also supports the project coordinator in project management, specifically in data and quality management, by leading innovation insights and in planning and monitoring project risk management.
