WaVE partner TU Delft (NL) has written a paper presenting a methodology for the elaboration of Regional Status Quo (RSQ) to be applied in each of the five sites of the WaVE project. Given the emphasis on co-creation in the WaVE project, the steps for preparing a RSQ outlined here are related with the adequate levels of engagement of stakeholders. The methodology is complemented by guidelines on identification of good practice for the purpose of inter-regional knowledge transfer.
