D1.1 OPERATIONAL MANUAL OF PROCEDURES

Drawing upon the considerable expertise of the partners engaged in the process, the OPERATIONAL MANUAL ON TOOLS AND SERVICES has been developed. The approach implemented for the Facility’s services is based on proven methodologies and draws on the experience gained from previous EU-funded projects, including the Horizon Results Booster and AAL2Business. Emphasis has been placed on a demand-driven, modular framework to provide adaptability and effectively address the evolving needs of beneficiaries. The methodology incorporates Lean Startup concepts, strategic planning instruments, and structured coaching models to facilitate the advancement of research results towards greater maturity and real-world application. The Work Package Leaders have reached consensus regarding the parameters and indicators that determine beneficiaries’ access to the various services and options available within the widerAdvance Facility.The purpose of the Operational Manual is to organise and comprehensively outline the procedures and implementation processes for each service provided under the widerAdvance Facility. This document serves as an authoritative guide for applicants, beneficiaries, service providers, and project partners.
