The results of the validation activities (through questionnaires, follow-up interviews and walkthrough test), processed to highlight strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats of each scenario, have been discussed in two workshops within the CASPER consortium, including members of the International Advisory Board. The objective was to identify those policy measures that could realistically optimise the advantages and minimise the shortcomings of each scenario while maintaining their distinctive identity as alternative, credible policy options, each one presenting a specific trade-off profile. The connection with the Horizon Europe GEP requirement is also incorporated in many recommendations, aiming at harmonising the two policy tools (certification scheme and HE requirement). Scenario-specific and cross-cutting recommendations resulting from this process, directly addressed to European Commission institutions, have been presented (April 2022) in the Deliverable 6.2.
