This deliverable is the first in the work package to report on the results of the assessment. Since the start the work in WP7 was done in close collaboration with the “Dissemination” and “Technology transfer”  work packages (WP8 and 9) and is a part of the knowledge transfer activities formed by these three  work packages. 

The deliverable also provides a training plan for the years 2015 and 2016. The implementation of this  plan  has  already  started  with  a  first  training  workshop  on  automated  metadata  extraction  and  encapsulation during the IDCC conference 2015. As the training plan (see section 5) takes a central  role  in outlining  the path  for  the upcoming WP activities  it has been  formulated  in a way  to allow  readability even in isolation from the rest of this document.
