EXECUTIVESUMMARY

This document describes the updated first version of the plan to exploit project results from the project after comments by the reviewers at the review meeting 21 September 2018. The list of exploitable results described in the first version were mostly on “output” of the workpackages, whereas the revised version has more focus on “outcome” of the project as a whole.

INTAROS plans to provide the following types of major exploitable results: (1) Collaborations in the Pan-Arctic region between programmes, projects and various networks dealing with observing systems; (2) Improve access to observational data from existing observing systems as well as from new observing platforms; (3) Implement new observing platforms and sensors to increase the data collection; (4) Provide new observing protocols for data types that are not yet standardized; (5) Demonstrate interoperability between distributed data repositories; (6) Assessment of observing systems using online survey and a maturity index; (7) Demonstrate useful application of an integrated observing system towards stakeholders; and (8) Updated requirements for observing systems in different scientific disciplines based on feedback from stakeholders, including local communities.

The INTAROS workplan and expected results have been presented at a number of conferences, workshops and meetings where key organsations, programmes and projects dealing with the Arctic. These events have been the main meeting place for interaction with stakeholders. This has been important in order to identify which organisations, programmes and projects can be target groups for exploitation of the project results.

The exploitation plan will be updated by month 36 together with the first version of the Strategy for the Intellectual Property exploitation.

1. IntroductionIt is mandatory to report on work performed to exploit the results of the project as part of the periodic reporting. Article 28 in the Grant Agreement sets out the obligations to ensure that project results are exploited during and up to four years after the project is completed. Exploitation can be done through the following types activities:

(a) use results in further research activities (outside the action); (b) use results to develop, create or market a product or process; (c) use results to create and provide a service, or (d) use results in standardisation activities

This document describes the first version of the plan for activities to exploit project results from the project. The plan should identify main “outcome” and how this can be exploited after the end of the project.

2. DefinitionofexploitableresultsfromINTAROS

MajorexploitableresultsThe major exploitable results from INTAROS which are expected to have impact after the project is completed can be grouped into the following classes: Class

1 Collaborations: examples are establishment of networks, development of concrete collaboration, (including signing of agreements) and planning of joint work with new partners

2 Observational data: improve access to observational data from existing observing stations and platforms, collect more data from field experiments, prepare data for dissemination through distributed data repositories, provide new catalogues of data

3 New observing technologies: demonstrate new platforms and sensors,

4 New observing protocols: establish protocols for better data management, standards and metadata for data that are not yet part of an operational network,

5 Demonstrate interoperability of distributed data repositories

6 Assessment of observing systems using an online survey with maturity index, to be updated during and after the project period

7 Demonstrate useful applications of an integrated observing system in each of thematic domains of the project

8 Updated requirements for observing systems in different scientific disciplines based on feedback from stakeholders, including local communities

3. Stakeholderinvolvementprocess The engagement of stakeholders in INTAROS has been described in the Dissemination Plan V1 (D7.3, 02 June 2017) and the Engagement Strategy (D1.3, 30 Nov 2017), where planned and performed activities have been identified. In a number of workshops, conferences, meetings and other events, stakeholders from various groups have been informed about INTAROS work and the expected outcome from the project.

Activitiesperformedin2017-2018Workshop on requirements and challenges related to Arctic observations (Brussels, 5 May 2017). This first workshop organized by INTAROS gathered approximately 25 participants representing European and Pan-Arctic agencies, organisations and networks dealing with Arctic observing systems. The participants covered high-level requirements for data across various disciplines and stakeholder groups. The workshop was part of preparing the first requirement document (D1.1). First workshop on Community-Based Monitoring (Fairbanks, 10 May 2017). This workshop was organised by INTAROS in collaboration from the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF), the Yukon River Inter-Tribal Watershed Council (YRITWC) and the



Exchange for Local Observations and Knowledge of the Arctic (ELOKA). The workshop offered an opportunity for practitioners of community-based monitoring (CBM) and observing programs to come together to exchange experiences and perspectives. Representatives from CBM programs in Alaska and Canada were in attendance. Additional participants included researchers and government officials currently involved in CBM. The results of the workshop are published in a report. Workshop on the role of Norwegian institutions in building observing systems (Oslo, 09 November 2017). A workshop was organized as a back-to-back meeting with the Svalbard Science Conference 06 – 08 November 2017. It involved 15 speakers and about 30 participants from the main Norwegian governmental institutions (Met Norway, Norwegian Polar Research Institute, Institute of Marine Research, Norwegian Environmental Agency and the Norwegian Ministry of Climate and Environment). User workshops on research data infrastructures (Tromsø 11 April and Bergen 15 Nov 2018) jointly organized by NorDataNet and INTAROS, targeting scientists and students as users of research infrastructures. Ca. 25 participants. Research school in Longyearbyen (2 – 7 December 2018) related to Arctic hazards, acoustics, data management and community-based monitoring. One of the days was dedicated to dialogue between scientists and the local inhabitants in Svalbard and their requirements for data. Other events with stakeholder involvement. Numerous meetings and workshops have been organized during 2017-2018 where INTAROS has been presented to various stakeholder groups. These include SAON and their committees (Arctic Data Committee and Committee on Observing Networks), AMAP, AOS, GEOCRI, Global Cryosphere Watch, Copernicus Marine Services, YOPP and other initiatives with specific data requirements. INTAROS will continue to collaborate with EU-PolarNET, APPLICATE, BLUE ACTION, NUNATARYUK, ATLANTOS and other national and international projects regarding stakeholder events.

Activitiesplannedin2019andonwards Specific stakeholder involvement in the thematic areas from 2019. The work with stakeholder involvement will continue in 2019 and onwards. As part of WP6: Application studies towards specific stakeholders, there will be specific work addressing 1) climate modelling, 2) marine ecosystems, 3) ice-ocean statistics for risk assessment, 4) natural hazard assessment, 5) greenhouse gas budgets, 6) local communities, 7) marine/maritime industries and 8) fisheries management. Representatives for the stakeholder groups should be persons who have a role in the production chain (as shown in Figs 1 and 2) and are interested to give feedback to the work of the WP6 tasks. It is planned to have dedicated workshops/meetings with thematic focus (e.g. marine, atmosphere, terrestrial, natural hazards, local communities, etc. as shown in Table 2) where relevant stakeholders areas will be invited.

The users of data provided by INTAROS and other data producing projects are often parts of a production chain, as illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2, which implies that there is a hierarchy of stakeholders. In the example of sea ice forecasting, the production chain starts with delivery of data products on the right side of the diagram and propagate through several steps of processing and modelling until the service delivery for a societal benefit area is completed on the left side.



Figure 1. Example of production chain for data products and modelling to deliver sea ice forecasting service to several societal benefit areas. The figure shows that there can be a sequence of users of a specific sea ice data type (ref. S. Starkweather).

Similar production chains for data products and services can be defined in the other thematic areas. Sea ice forecasting is a relatively complex service, involving many variables, data sources and modelling work. Figure 2 shows the same diagram for Surface Air Temperature.

Figure 2. Diagram showing the chain of data product and service delivery, using Surface Air Temperature as example (ref. S. Starkweather).



Table 2. Stakeholder groups for the thematic areas of INTAROS

Thematic area Stakeholder groups

Atmosphere: Climate modelling and monitoring, weather forecasting services, WMO YOPP, companies operating in the Arctic and local communities

Ocean: Monitoring and forecasting services (CMEMS), climate and environmental monitoring, marine and maritime industries, safety of marine operations.

Sea ice: Same as for atmosphere and ocean, plus sea ice navigation, oil and gas exploration, arctic tourism and local communities

Marine ecosystems:

Marine environmental monitoring, fisheries, aquaculture, marine pollution

Terrestrial themes: Hydrological monitoring and modelling, water resource management, greenhouse gas monitoring, services for Arctic industries, transportation and local communities

Glaciology: Climate monitoring and modelling of glaciers, hydropower companies, water resource management, local communities

Natural hazards: Earthquakes (EPOS), extreme weather and ice conditions and snow/ice avalanches (local communities, industries, tourism)

Community-based monitoring:

Local communities in Greenland (Disko) and in Svalbard and local communities in Canada, Alaska and Russia.

4. InnovationmanagementThe integration of stakeholders in the project (e.g. governmental agencies, service providers, companies, local communities) helps to bridge the gap between scientific research, technology, and the beneficiaries of the research (the users). It is anticipated that this can foster development of new prototypes of services and products.. Examples of innovation can be

• Robust platforms and sensors that can operate under Arctic conditions,

• Transfer of data from underwater platforms (gliders, floats, moorings) in ice covered regions

The Advisory Panel with representatives from different stakeholders, technologies, and scientists can help to come up with ideas on innovative solutions. One of the mechanism for creating innovation will be the workshops where scientists and stakeholders meet.

5. KnowledgemanagementandprotectionKnowledge management and protection will focus on the role and synergies between partners’ experiences, competences, capabilities, and help the partners to protect, share, manage their IPR capital. Access to Background Intellectual Property and protection and exploitation of Foreground IP will follow the Grant Agreement signed by the beneficiaries. Background means any data, know-how or information (tangible or intangible) including any rights such as intellectual property right that is (a) held by the beneficiaries before acceded to the Grant Agreement, and (b) needed to implement the action or exploit the results. Results means any output of the action such as data, knowledge or information – whatever its form



or nature, whether it can be protected or not – that is generated in the action, as well as any right attached to it, including intellectual property rights. The management of the IPR, generated by the project, will be monitored by the Executive Board, via the project coordinator, to ensure that it complies with the Grant Agreement. Knowledge management will address the following points:

• Protection: procedures for protecting new results and agreeing on dissemination and publishing of information.

• Ownership: agreements on access rights for research and commercial use.

• Implementation of “innovation-related activities”: including validation or take-up

activities, definition of strategies relating to the granting of licenses to third parties or to the identification of potential hurdles for the implementation of the project’s results (e.g. standards or third parties’ patents)

• Identification and collaboration with potential users: the strategy will be updated along

with the exploitation potential of the results becoming more accurate. By month 36 a Strategy for the Intellectual Property exploitation (WP8) will be drafted providing best practices in capturing and assessing the Intellectual Property and providing measures for exploitation after the end of the project. This document will be updated towards the end of the project.
