WP2 aims to consolidate the project vision and user scenarios, benchmarking it against micro- factory and collaborative production models, while providing requirements and KPIs; identify and analyse stakeholders’ perceptions, needs, drivers and barriers in regard to their engagement in user innovation and social manufacturing; produce a detailed mapping of co- creation and open innovation methods, tools and practices based on identified stakeholder needs; collect high-level consumer goods industry sector scenarios, use cases and KPIs to address co-design/ production and open-innovation challenges; develop a holistic social manufacturing/ collaborative production reference model.

WP3 aims to define the project’s approach towards the lean operational model of cDMFs’ federations; define the approach towards assessing cDMF’s technological and manufacturing and provide them the toolset to improve their capacity; define the method to enable cDMF’s Federations; define the toolkit for cDMF’s workflow simulation and improvement through digitalisation.

WP4 aims to deliver the core architecture for the iPRODUCE platform to support social manufacturing activities; deliver the platform architecture for social manufacturing; deliver data extraction and sharing functionalities with security and privacy aspects; specify and develop the Open Innovation marketplace, which addresses identified requirements and will be validated at collaborative demonstration facilities; deliver a training toolkit for co-creation and social manufacturing.

WP6 aims to define the methodologies that will drive the engagement of makers and consumers towards the establishment of local ecosystems and MMCs communities, and to increase the community spirit and participatory design in the project; engage makers and consumers in “warm-up” activities to set up the local ecosystem and MMC communities; leverage early adopters of the iPRODUCE value proposition to turn them into project Ambassadors and to enlarge the project’s communities; tap into the creativity and experience of citizens by collecting their innovative product ideas for innovation challenges.

WP7 aims to develop new business models and IPR management strategies and tools to simplify and automate multi-stakeholder interactions.

WP8 aims to integrate and interconnect the project’s technological and operational infrastructure and tools and establish operational readiness on behalf of the project consortium; deliver OpIS by integrating core services of the digital platform, co-creation enabling tools, training toolkit, social engagement app, and the IPR and transactions management automation framework; configure local instances of OpIS according to the characteristics of each cDMF, interconnecting them to establish the federated network; plan and execute thorough testing of the integrated solution, simultaneously training users with the operation of the overall solution.

WP9 aims to define and implement the evaluation framework for the validation and demonstration of the iPRODUCE solution in the targeted pilot use cases; define the evaluation methodology and corresponding planning and metrics; offer iPRODUCE co-creation services to the MMC teams participating in open innovation missions; implement iPRODUCE pilots through open innovation missions/ challenges; demonstrate the value of the federated network of local ecosystems and cDMFs.

WP10 aims to define the strategy for dissemination, communication and outreach, and to develop and execute tools and materials aligned with this strategy and stakeholders’ interests; coordinate the activities of the project with those of other similar projects and initiatives to enable cooperation; organise dissemination events to engage stakeholders and showcase the project; develop a clear exploitation strategy, and map and assess alternative exploitation paths and sources of finance.
