PMO 3: Exploitation

PR2: four focus groups were conducted with four different stakeholders: students, students with disabilities, teachers and administrative staff. As a result, more than 10 hours of recording and a total of 100 pages of written content were obtained for exploitation.
In addition, a Delphi Panel was administered to seven university professors and experts.

PR3: Experts from the think tank group were involved. They supplemented the recommendations developed by the various research groups with their observations in order to achieve an excellent final product.

PMO 4: Evaluation

The objective of the evaluation is to measure and ensure the quality of all the activities and the intellectual result of the project. The internal evaluation of the project activities is carried out according to an evaluation model developed by Pixel. UniSiena is committed to high standard processes and results for the project, therefore UniSiena - as a Project Partner - has participated and filled out the questionnaires associated or related to the evaluation processes regarding the different aspects of the project (i.e. management, activities, meetings, etc…)

Results Achieved:

- Creation of links with university and association entities in the area that address similar issues.
- Collection of documents useful for research purposes.
- Completion of all actions useful for the final piloting of PR1.
- Promotion of the project at the university level.
- Audios and videos of the 4 focus groups conducted.
- Transcripts in Word format files of the 4 transcripts of the focus groups.
