The VAI Pilot Actions were developed largely independently by different partners at different countriers and localities. This is largely reflected on the reports presented in this document, whereby different rationales and formats may be observed even for actions of the same type. This may have been partly due to a rather loose design at a first place, certainly relates to the different types of partners and kinds of actions planned, yet it also owes to loose communication and coordination at this stage of the project. Nevertheless, rather than a weakness, it proved to be an advantage adding value and diversity to the project, as well as the potential for ongoing relevant activities after it comes to an end. This is because a wealth of perspectives and approaches in developing similar actions was brought forward, building on each partners‘ area of expertise and experience, but also on their role within VAI and the project‘s past outcomes and results, creatively employed to develop and implement the Pilot Actions.
