RHODaS Deliverables

Public deliverables from the RHODaS project


On specific dates, periodic assessment reports called "deliverables" have to be submitted to the European Commission in order to evaluate the progress of the project. On this page, you can find the public documents from the RHODaS project. The documents on this page may be subject to change following review by the European Commission.

Deliverable Number: D7.5

Gender Action Plan and Ethics considerations

The purpose of this deliverable is to report on the gender aspects of the project and provide a framework for addressing the various ethical issues related to the development, design, implementation and testing of the prototypes developed in the project. This deliverable will therefore describe the need and importance of promoting gender balance and equality transversely and how the ethics considerations are fulfilled throughout the project planning and implementation to stand out as an excellent example of a well-balanced working community.

Deliverable Number: D6.3

PDEC - Plan for the dissemination, exploitation and communication activities

This Deliverable describes the plan for the dissemination, exploitation and communication activities within RHODaS. The objective of the PDEC is to identify and organise actions to promote the commercial exploitation of the project’s results and achieve a wide dissemination of knowledge from the project. It will consider the communication needs, objectives and goals, target audiences, key message, sources, communication channels, barriers, action plans and results evaluation. In addition, a dissemination tool kit with templates and materials for dissemination and communication is provided. This deliverable will be updated in M24 and in M42.

Deliverable Number: D1.3

Ecodesign guideline covering environmental, material criticality and circularity considerations

Environmental performance and material criticality of the new components and solutions explored in the project are analysed and evaluated. As a result, a design guide line for improving circularity of the products, that is, increasing repairing, reusing, remanufacturing and recovering of materials and components, and facilitating dismantling and disposal, will be prepared in this Deliverable, which will include material selection matrixes and property charts covering environmental indicators, costs, technical parameters etc. An update of this deliverable is provided in M15.
