Description

The first part of the document describes shortly the overall stakeholder engagement strategy
and builds on report D2.1. It gives an overview of different stakeholder groups and how their
specific needs and feedback are collected for different aspects of the OEMC project.
The second part of the document describes the methods of the stakeholder need and
requirement assessment based on an online survey and targeted interviews. The final results of
the online survey will be presented and an interview guide for the targeted survey of use-case
requirements for OEMC products and services will be presented.
This is the final version of the report on “User requirements and data gaps” showing the ongoing
and future activities. The outputs of the described activities are relevant for the tasks in WP3—6
as the stakeholder needs and feedback will have an impact on the design of particular
functionalities of the OEMC computing engine (WP3), preparation and dissemination of the
in-situ data (WP4), and especially on the EU and world monitors (WP5 and WP6) as well as on
the 32 OEMC use cases.
