It will be submitted to a scientific journal before the summer of 2020.

In parallel, interviews and other material have been collected to understand the actors´ experiences regarding partnerships and test beds. This material has been compiled and analyzed and will be published in a scientific journal. All in all, the project has led to increased knowledge and increased cooperation between the two participating organizations that will continue.
