SRA Methodology
The new EPoSS SRA has been developed using a rigorous process that involved:
a
large-scale Smart Systems stakeholder survey asking about markets served,
technologies used, turnover and headcount, funding and grants, drivers,
difficulties, support and assistance, and in-depth
expert surveys and interviews for each application sector,
technology and production process,
a stakeholder workshop for data validation and condensation,
ten structured expert discussion workshops on timelines, impact, SWOT and priority
setting
preparation of outcomes from expert workshops by specialist chapter authors
