Downloadable Toolkit
This is a Toolkit of introductory and dissemination materials to help first-time travellers to Digital Ecosystems (DEs) and OPAALS understand the project, who is involved and how to engage with us. It offers resources to help you understand how you could deploy and benefit from a DE in your region.
There are many ways to become involved. For ease of navigation, we present some resources as relevant for all and some according to the capacity in which you might want to engage with OPAALS. Under Digital Ecosystems & OPAALS we provide overview presentations, media-oriented packs, presentations given to various communities of interest and newsletters with project information and updates. Under Engagement & Interest Groups we have organised project-specific reports and presentations according to knowledge and professional interest. These are not mutually exclusive, however; we encourage you to browse all areas of interest. Communication & Dissemination Resources provides information that we have used to conceptualise and communicate DE 'brands' and identity to the larger world. Finally, Use Cases & Cluster Projects illustrates how DEs could be put to use by SMEs for different purposes and in various regions, with links following to active DE cluster projects.
