Outcomes and achieved outputs :
The VMG has served the purpose of producing the Final Results Brochure, a formal deliverable of the
Action. It was given shape through several meetings with the graphic editor. Currently, the Final
Brochure presents the updated information about the Action, including links to each of the activities,
outputs and resources on the website. The work on the Brochure is ongoing, as the grantee and the
graphic editor are working on several additional pages, going into more depth into the results of each
working group of the Action, as well as highlighting the different sections of the Toolbox on the Action’s
website. In addition, the grantee has contributed to processing the remaining deliverables of the Action,
an urgent task that needed to be done before the end of the Action. This work included giving the
appropriate format to the deliverables upon reception from the authors, including an ISBN number and
archiving the invoices for proofreading / ISBN duly to justify the costs incurred to COST.
Benefits for the COST Action Strategy:
The Final Results Brochure provides a comprehensive overview of the Action’s work done over the
last 4 years. It is an important tool for dissemination, as it is presented in a brief format with an atractive
design, which facilitates the dissemination of Action results among academic and non academic
readers, such as policy makers, practitioners and families.
Virtual collaboration:
The virtual collaboration was very efficient. Regarding the Final Results Brochure, the grantee would
present the ongoing work to the host researchers after each proposal from the graphic editor, they
would discuss the progress and the grantee would convey the feedback to the editor. The knowledge
of the Action Chair and Vice-chair on the outputs of the Action were crucial for this objective.
Concerning the processing of the deliverables towards the closing of the Action, the grantee worked
closely together with Virtual Networking Support manager Ana Pizarro Carmona, with the ongoing
supervision of the host researchers.
