Project Results and Deliverables
What are project results?
Project results are any tangible or intangible output of the action, such as data, knowledge and information whatever their form or nature, whether or not they can be protected.
Key exploitable results are the outputs generated during the PROCare4Life project which can be used and create impact, either by the project partners or by other stakeholders.
Project results can be reusable and exploitable (e.g. inventions, prototypes, services) as such, or elements (knowledge, technology, processes, networks) that have potential to contribute for further work on research or innovation.
Here is a chart describing project results below:
