- <p><strong>Deliverable report D7.5 (update 1) of the EU Horizon 2020 Project OPTAIN (Grant agreement No. 862756).</strong></p> <p><em>The report aims at identifying the needs and capacity of potential users of the OPTAIN Learning Environment. </em><em> </em></p> <p><strong>Summary:</strong></p> <p>The ‘training analysis’ aims at identifying the needs and capacity of relevant target groups for tailoring the OPTAIN Learning Environment (LE) to their potential users’ requirements. The training analysis is an on-going and evolving process next to the development of the LE website. This report presents a first state of the art and the updated version of February 2025.</p> <p>OPTAINs first training analysis focused on farmers, NGOs/associations, scientists, advisors/farmers’ unions. Their profile was described in individual persona based on the information gathered in interviews and desk analysis. A preliminary illustration of the key relation (i.e. trust, co-creation/transfer or communication) among persona was illustrated on a stakeholder mapping highlighting three sectors (training, dissemination and raising awareness). This information was then used to elaborate a training matrix bringing together the core needs of each persona, their related sector and potential materials to be used for trainings. The recommendations to set the trainings were drawn based on a 360° framework1 detailing 11 criteria to be taken into account and synthetic views for the targets, content, format, and transversal tips.</p> <p>Advisors/Farmers’ unions and NGOs/associations are the primary targets of OPTAIN training. As knowledge broker, they work at the interface with other stakeholders such as farmers. Scientists are the secondary target of the training. They are knowledge providers facing the huge challenge of co-creating the knowledge while providing demonstration of the multiple benefits of NSWRM and related themes. This leads to a change of the usual content and format of training. Indeed, the content should be scientific and community based (with experience sharing) and embedded in a trans-disciplinary approach. The format should offer the opportunities for learning experience through networking.</p> <p>In the second phase of the training analysis, the stakeholder mapping has been expanded to include students as key personas. Their integration tailors the LE to future professionals and practitioners by enhancing structured training formats. It includes real-world case studies to bridge the gap between theory and implementation. Also, it provides opportunities for networking and career development to support them in their transition from education to professional practice. Furthermore, the stakeholder mapping will continue to evolve, expanding to include regional authorities and decision-makers, key actors who play a critical role in the governance, implementation and policy development of NSWRM. Their engagement will strengthen the practical application of knowledge and reinforce the decision-making processes within the LE. </p>
