MMOVECommunications Key Outputs by semester and component
MMOVE Communications The Communication plan is a document which will set the: • objectives • audiences • messages and contents • instruments • tactics which will allow an effective, efficient, shared, coordinated, planned and widely disseminated communication during the entire length of the project
MMOVE Communications Objectives • to encourage the exchange of ideas and results • to coordinate the communication actions and activities in a recognizable way, linked to the project and to the mobility policies of the different involved partners • to encourage a change in local and regional mobility policies • make citizens aware in everyday mobility choices
MMOVE Communications Audiences • project partners • local and regional stakeholders • mobility experts and planners • mobility local and regional authorities policy makers • mobility networks • citizens
MMOVE Communications Key messages and contents To be defined and presented during the Kick Off meeting. Tactics • Appointment of a communication officer by the Lead Partner in RE who will coordinate all the activities • Communication instruments immediately recognizable linked to the MMOVE project • Identification of instruments which will ease the exchange of ideas and results • Simplification of results for citizens
MMOVE Communications Instruments • shared communication plan • communication workshops • media coverage (Press releases, press conferences, articles, etc.) • technological instruments (website, blogs, e-bullettins, DVD, photos) • periodical local, regional (and 1 EU) events and final event • brochures, leaflets, etc. • toolbox manual
MMOVE SAG/TWG 1 Next steps • General • Send out definitive final versions of AF and simplified budget plus explanation of changes made during approval of conditions • Circulate all powerpoints from SAG/TWG • In future send a reminder of what papers have been sent and store on project website • Partnership Agreement • Nubia to circulate the PA draft and ask each partner 1) to start checking the doc with lawyers (if required) 2) who will be the signatory on the PA • Aim to get PA signed at KO- maybe too ambitious- need to get 11th partner confirmed and Shared Cost methodology agreed as annex- if possible bring signed PA to KO- to start the collection. • Nubia to give 14 day deadline to Bydgoszcz MMRC for reply- and get RE Mayor to write. • Volos to informally ask Lodz Uni contact at municipality
MMOVE SAG/TWG 1 Next steps • KO Meeting • Agreed programme- start 1200 on 31 March end 1200 2 April • Day 2 technical issues will be SC- Finance, Claims, Communications, Website • Registrations will go out by 27 February • Ask partners if they wish to invite politicians- RE could organise special session on Day3- deadline to respond • Consider holding a special network meeting for politicians towards the end of project • Give partners a checklist for preparation- who should attend, what they need to prepare • Invite EPOMM/PIMMS Transfer representatives • Organise a TWG meeting at same time • Keep it motivational as well as training/management processes • Invite the JTS • Invite Gehl as expert speaker • Volunteers for chairing?
MMOVE SAG/TWG 1 Next steps • Finance and Claims • Partners have some flexibility to transfer money between budget lines and components BUT must ask RE first so they can control overall balance up to 10% flexibility rule • Patrizia to: • Circulate proposed shared cost methodology with a draft email to national FLC – to seek approval within 4 weeks • Circulate link to Interreg IVC website with Country Specific Information and the IVC Programme Manual • Seek agreement from non eurozone partners on the preferred euro exchange rate method • Send each partner a very simple summary of their budget- what they can spend on which activity • Clarify situation for PC1 – can it be combined with PC2? • Find out how long each partner FLC will take to certify claims – partners to check with their FLC • Consider adjusting the claims timetable to get ‘first in the queue’ at FLCs- e.g end reporting period 1 month earlier • Ask JTS to consider staggering the claims timetable (!)
MMOVE SAG/TWG 1 Next steps • Evaluation • Draft specification to be developed and circulated by Nubia to SAG for comment • Partners can propose potential external contractors • Brief presentation and discussion in SC at KO • Evaluator to be appointed in Semester 3 • Candidates should be interviewed and should attend SC/Network meetings • Nubia will monitor core outputs/ indicators. Evaluator should look at these materials , also set up , collate and analyse participant feedback, give qualitative info on both mobility and management issues. • Reports can be used as evidence for exit or forward funding
MMOVE SAG/TWG 1 Next steps • Communications • Key messages and plan to be developed for KO and discussed • Website- draft spec to be presented and discussed at KO- • Audiences : 1) public 2) partners 3)mobility professionals 4) local and regional government • Links to all partner sites • Contract to be by open procurement- Volos expressed interest • Needs to have technical capacity for webstream and online toolbox- either database or interactive game • Needs an exit strategy – perhaps Eurotowns site • Professional photography, press conference and first filming at KO • MMOVE to send a representative to 1) IE Bages project meeting, Spain May 2) EPOMM conference, San Sebastian, May.
MMOVE SAG/TWG 1 Next steps • SV • Partners can decide which SVs to attend and how many people to send. • There can be more than 6 SVs – they could be smaller and take other forms, eg staff exchange, round table • Dates- consider extending the timetable for SV- • TWG Methodology • Be clear about ambitions- 11 partners BP- not the perfect model for all cities • Often qualitative info- which practice requires a lot of investment or faces resistance- which policies are more effective or used more in smaller cities- turn these into simple indicators • Claudio to check data/indicators are compatible with standard EU measurements and Eurostat. • Claudio to circulate TWG methodology discussion notes and additional indicators.
SAG/TWG • Next Steps • Next meetings • TWG 2 at KO meeting • SAG 2 and TWG3 combine with BP network week 42 0r 43 Oct 19rd in Girona- to be confirmed at Eurotowns EC meeting on 4 March • Remote working also - online, email or tel conferencing
