D3.2 Innovation Hub: First Release

The aim of the PoliRural Digital Innovation Hub (DIH) is to offer a public user interface and introduction to the innovations of the project. To this end, the DIH entry point is built on a content management system. Furthermore, the DIH will provide four distinctive sections, or spaces, that cater for both internal and external users:

1. An interaction space with forums, dialogue and Wiki capabilities to support stakeholder interaction
2. A learning space for Massive Open Online Courses to facilitate dissemination and uptake of knowledge and methodology developed through the project
3. An experimentation space for testing analytics and visualization including text mining and system dynamics based on real data
4. A development and hosting space for creating virtual instances of the shared reference to be used by each pilot when developing their applications.

• CMS Liferay with set of Social Tools: science shop, blog post, forum, wiki and library
