WP6 will disseminate project results and services to a wider users' community. This will include the preparation of printed material and Web based information, provided at different levels of technical detail, to address specific user communities. Two dissemination workshops will be organized in order to obtain feedback on the demonstration products and services provided with WP5 and to further expand the user community. Taking into account the users' input on the assessment of the demonstration activities, their future requirements, and the business environment, market analysis and various service scenarios will be developed together with the identified end users based on the case studies which will be decided during first 6 months of the project.
