The methodology
A need analysis will be carried out in order to make sure that the design of the
platform is in line with real needs of local communities.
Based on the preparation phase, the HEPCOM learning web platform will be designed, developed and launched for
testing.
To ensure relevance, usability and sustainability of the platform, 45 local
community pilots around Europe will be carried out.
Through national seminars in the countries and through a final European
conference, the final version of the HEPCOM learning platform will be launched
for future use.
