DECIDE Consortium: Publishable Summary
The Publishable Summary is a component of the 'Periodic Report'. The above is from the DECIDE project's first Periodic Report which covered project months 1-18 (01 January 2011 to 30 June 2012). The first Periodic Report, including Publishable Summary, was submitted to the European Commission on 23 August 2012. The Publishable Summary includes:
  • A summary description of project context and objectives,
  • A description of the work performed since the beginning of the project and the main results achieved so far,
  • The expected final results and their potential impact and use (including the socio-economic impact and the wider societal implications of the project so far),
  • The address of the project public website.

The publishable summary will be updated for each Periodic Report and future updates will appear on this page.
