2. WP7 Objective and Structure • Objective: to ensure that: • the results of the study will be duly communicated to major actors and stake-holders involved in the transition process • these results and methodology have been confronted to the scientific community • Task 7.1 : identification and choice of the audiences, data base • Task 7.2 : set-up communication channels • Task 7.3 : interactive communication • Task 7.4 : final international conference

3. WP7 Management • Enerdata (2 mm): leader of the Work Package: • Leader of tasks 7.2, 7.3 and 7.4 • Set up communication tools: logo, reporting formats, WEB site, forum • LSC(2 mm): strong involvement in the work package • Leader of task 7.1 • involved in all tasks • Other partners: no specific involvement but: • all partners facilitate task 7.1 (identification of contact persons) and contribute to task 7.2 (deliverables, articles in scientific reviews,…) and 7.3 (interactive communication with actors and stake-holders) • UP makes adequate linkages for task 7.3 (education system)

4. Task 7.1 : Objective, methodology & deliverable • Objective: identify the audience with which PACT should communicate, and set-up a database • Methodology: the audience and database will encompass two groups • Actors and stake-holders in Europe likely to play a significant role in the transition process: • Policy makers: the European Commission, the European Parliament, Member States Enterprises of the energy sector (both private and public); • Representatives of the public:Massmedia (newspapers scientific services; tv scientific programmes, etc.), European networks and associations, NGOs • Scientific communities relevant to the project • Deliverable • Dl7.1 database on actors, stake-holders and scientific counterparts for communication purposes, restricted to the consortium members and sponsors (month 6)

5. Task 7.1 : Implementation • Step1: identification of the audience (M1 to M2) • Actors and stakeholders • Scientific community. • Step2: single out (within each type) the individual receivers of information inputs (M3 to M5). • consultation with contact points within the EC and snowballing (that is, asking to already known people to suggest other contacts). • analysis of directories and European web-sites in order to single out the relevant policy makers and other representatives of European level associations (e.g. trade unions, NGOs, industrialists associations); • institutions that carried out projects connected to the energy issue within 5FP and 6FP as well as on behalf of DG TREN; • use of data made available by the consortium members • Step3 : design and develop the database of contact points (M3 to M6) • Set-up the database format. • Develop the database • Input data
