EXERCISE
EXERCISE - EXCELLENCE 1. Considering your research question; what other disciplines might provide important insights 2. Are there special problems associated with designing research with multi-disciplinary approaches
SOCIETAL CHALLENGES EXPECTED IMPACTS Europe's contribution to a value-based global order and its contestants It is thus expected that this research will shed empirical light on the potential for and limits to the EU's future place in a multi-polar global order identifying facilitating and restraining factors for effective EU external activities aimed at the export of values, provide the bases for future-oriented and evidence-based reflections on the contents and conduct of external activities
SOCIETAL CHALLENGES IMPACT FEEDBACK XXXX has a high potential to integrate new knowledge and original findings and research activities into the academic and political practitioners communities The project team offers innovative Measures to maximise its impact and to disseminate its activities and results a convincing track record in translating research into policy recommendations and in injecting and facilitating debates between academics practitioners media NGOs and the wider public.. The expected impacts listed in the Commission work programme are addressed very well covering many dimensions regional contexts and specificities The involvement of stakeholders from the start of the project is appreciated
EXERCISE - IMPACT 1. Who is likely to be interested in your research? 2. How will you ensure it is used? 3. How can stakeholders be invited to contribute to design, implementation and dissemination
