The Open Call saw a total of three applications from three different countries. Two of the applications were from small and medium-sized enterprises, one from academia. A team of experts from Digital Curation Centre (DCC), University of Edinburgh has been selected to take over the analytical piece for this report.

In addition, the team will support the Working Group in planning and organising the second Validation Workshop in the autumn to ensure that the right approach in discussing the results with stakeholders will be taken (read about the first Workshop here). The final version of the analytical part of the report is expected by mid-October.
