Desk research. 2.1.1 Social practices for supporting PWFO’s LLL (functions and the needs, challenges, good practices, gaps etc.) The desk research aims to bring the partners closer to already existing programmes, initiatives and good practices aimed at providing the multidimensional support for people with fewer opportunities, implemented by the state and/ or private organizations in Poland. We described the functions, roles and assumptions of all programmes and practices which remain in compliance with the EU recommendations and national strategies. It is worth emphasizing that most programs are (being) implemented under ‘The Lifelong Learning Perspective’. It underpins the significance of skills, conditions, and opportunities created for skills development as necessary for social capital enhancement, economic growth, and high quality of life. In our research we also highlighted the needs of a few hand-picked groups of PWFO, that is NEETs, the long-term unemployed, the disabled, people with low social status - economic obstacles, geographical obstacles, and senior citizens. We presented examples of good practices which give us hope that despite challenges, some systemic improvements can be made, which will, for sure, raise the quality of life of many disadvantaged groups from an economic and social angle. 2.1.2 The strategies-policies at the National level in relation to social practices for supporting PWFO’s LLL and the compliance with the EU recommendations (EU Disability Strategy and Life Long Learning) Many concepts and terms related to the adult education policy in Poland may be understood differently, depending on their setting and context. This refers, in particular, to adult education and training. Since 2013, efforts have been taken to embed in the field of education terms which are convergent with European definitions concerning lifelong learning, including adult education and training. At that time, the Government adopted new strategic documents, ‘The Lifelong Learning Perspective’ (Perspektywa uczenia się przez całe życie) and ‘The Human Capital Development Strategy’ (Strategia Rozwoju Kapitału Ludzkiego), which defined basic policy terms for lifelong learning. Key factors in making lifelong learning a reality are skills and conditions and opportunities created for skills development as necessary for social capital enhancement, economic growth and high quality of life. As a major step in devising an Integrated Skills Strategy (ISS) (Zintegrowana Strategia Um...

Desk research. A variety of secondary sources will provide insight into the contexts and environments in which the PATHS system will be used. For the User Requirements Analysis we focus on:  Types of users and their domains  Tasks that users may be engaged in  Users‟ traits with regard to information behaviour  Findings from previous digital cultural heritage user studies  Examples of existing paths and path-creation tools  Considerations for personalisation and recommendation in digital collections  Considerations with regard to users‟ cognitive styles The first four of these areas provide an initial understanding of users of cultural heritage collections, and how they have been studied in the past. This information establishes a foundation for the design of our primary data collection instruments, and offers a benchmark for analysis of results. Next, reviewing examples of paths and path-creation tools gives an understanding of the competitive environment, and also aids the development of more detailed qualitative questions and experiments relating to one of the core activities that the PATHS system will support, i.e. the production of paths. Finally, the last two areas provide insights into some of the more advanced aspects of the PATHS system and offer a framework for consideration of these issues in the development of the set of user requirements.

Desk research. Background research was initiated during phase 1 and continued during Phase 2 of the study. It informed our understanding of the overall policy framework concerning the EIP programme, provided the main source of information on the measures and activities implemented and the indicators used in this context. It also pointed to data constraints. The documents reviewed and information sources analyzed included: • The Decision 1639/2006/EC of the European Parliament establishing the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme • The Commission staff working document providing an ex-ante evaluation of the CIP that was annexed to the proposal for the Programme • The EIP annual work programmes for the years 2007-2010 • The EIP annual implementation reports for the years 2007 and 2008 • The final report of the Interim Evaluation of EIP submitted in 2009 • The minutes of the meetings of the EIP Committee • The Information Note providing a summary of the CIP Indicator Workshop on 3 October 2006 • The annual management plans of DG Enterprise and Industry for the years 2007-2009 Furthermore, the desk research included a review of other relevant national and supranational developments including notably the work in the Entrepreneurship Indicators Programme of the OECD and Eurostat and the performance indicators of the EU Research and Development Framework Programme.

Desk research. In this section we report on several elements of desk research that are designed to inform on the overall context and operating environment of the PATHS project. Consideration is given to: the relevant domains, roles and tasks of the target users of the PATHS system; previous user studies in information behaviour and user requirements in digital cultural heritage projects; evidence of any existing published paths (or similar) and tools available for creating them; and, recent research in the areas of personalisation and recommendation, user profiles and the opportunities afforded by identifying and adapting to users‟ cognitive styles in relation to their information seeking behaviour.

Desk research. The increased importance of small cells and early experiences from small cell deployment projects has generated a wide range of documentation and news items. These resources constitute a significant part of the knowledge compiled in this study. Therefore, a desk research approach is intensively undertook to gather information from sources including, but not limited to, research publications, analytical reports, stakeholder reports, standardisation documents, regulatory and policy documents, open data repositories, news articles, press releases and blog posts. A deliberate effort is made to ensure that the information gathered is balanced, to understand the contexts of the arguments both for and against network densification and to present different perspectives related to tighter or looser regulations, and incentives. Moreover, the desk research also includes cross- referencing and the collation of the gathered information.

Desk research. The usual desk research will take place especially during the first months of the survey period, but it will be setup as a continuous community effort. References will be collected using an online social citation and bookmarking tool. (Presently Delicious and CiteUlike are in use, but the ENUMERATE Team plans to switch to Diigo.) Also documentation suggested on the 5th October meeting will be used.

Research use will occur solely in connection with the approved research project described in the DAR, which includes a 1-2 paragraph description of the proposed research (i.e., a Research Use Statement). Investigators interested in using Cloud Computing for data storage and analysis must request permission to use Cloud Computing in the DAR and identify the Cloud Service Provider (CSP) or providers and/or Private Cloud System (PCS) that they propose to use. They must also submit a Cloud Computing Use Statement as part of the DAR that describes the type of service and how it will be used to carry out the proposed research as described in the Research Use Statement. If the Approved Users plan to collaborate with investigators outside the Requester, the investigators at each external site must submit an independent DAR using the same project title and Research Use Statement, and if using the cloud, Cloud Computing Use Statement. New uses of these data outside those described in the DAR will require submission of a new DAR; modifications to the research project will require submission of an amendment to this application (e.g., adding or deleting Requester Collaborators from the Requester, adding datasets to an approved project).
