It promotes continuous transfer of knowledge with strong user involvement. Knowledge transfer includes a variety of mechanisms and modalities that enable an adequate outreach to wide and diverse audiences, including service providers, technical experts, public administrations, as well as citizens with especial attention to vulnerable groups.
