Project months: 1 – 48; Lead beneficiary: MENON

The main objective of this work package is to progressively build the community of users, lab-owners, policy makers and, more generally, stakeholders who will accompany the development of the project from the early phases of participatory design (WP3) till the full deployment of the project results into long term sustainability planning. The three main categories of user communities identified are: school communities (teachers, students, learners, schools administration, teacher trainers), lab-owners (universities, research centers, enterprises), and educational policy makers involved in science education and research. In the framework of the community building process the Go-Lab consortium supports teachers in acquiring and reinforcing such skills and knowledge so that they can make best use of the new opportunities offered by the Go-Lab scenarios and online labs.
