D1.4 Reachout Strategy Plan

Setting up the association in T1.3 requires finding the right members, which will be contacted early on in the project. This document will describe concrete strategies the partners will use to attract members for the association. In particular, we consider two types of strategies. On the one hand, we want to participate in and promote existing challenges, in which medium and large companies are involved. On the other hand, we want to integrate challenge datasets into the HOBBIT platform, and launch open calls towards industry and academia to stimulate the usage of these datasets. Potential users can be convinced by providing temporary free access to the platform, as well as technical support.
