Abstract: Deliverable report D7.5 of the EU Horizon 2020 Project OPTAIN (Grant agreement No. 862756). The report aims at identifying the needs and capacity of potential users of the OPTAIN Learning Environment. Summary: The ‘training analysis’ aims at identifying the needs and capacity of relevant target groups for tailoring the OPTAIN Learning Environment to their potential users’ requirements. The training analysis is an on-going process next to the development of the Learning Environment. This report presents a first state of the art that will be constantly updated until the second version is produced in February 2025. At that stage, one challenge is to engage with potential users while the Learning Environment is under development. 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). These 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° framework detailing 11 criteria to be taken into account and synthetic views for the targets, content, format, and transversal tips. 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. The next steps will consist in enlarging the stakeholder mapping by adding persona related to the European Commission, regional authorities, decision makers and managers, students and representatives of the civil society. Each format (on-site, on-line, and continuous) will be further detailed in the respect of the balance between training ambitions and OPTAIN budget and resources.
