D2.3 Regional SWOT analyses as feasibility studies to be used as evidence-base in decision-making for roadmap construc-tion

This Deliverable will develop an appropriate mix of methods (e.g. focus groups, expert interviews, document analysis) to generate data about the Super-Labs and apply this methodology in tandem with the task partners. Following a harmonised approach that allows for interregional comparisons, this data will be integrated in the form of regional SWOT analyses and made available to the stakeholders in the four TRANSFORMER Super-Labs. Important aspects will be: risks and benefits of different solutions, financial feasibility, key transformation challenges, innovative potential, available strategies, potential networks, social implications (assessment of needs and preferences of those groups most affected and vulnerable, questions of social resistance), and aspects of diversity (including gender).
