Live demonstrations – the driving force behind GEXTRECS
Demonstrations are powerful tools for enhancing the effectiveness of knowledge sharing, especially with regard to tacit knowledge that requires direct interaction and experience. They provide a unique practical possibility to understand how something works and, at the same time, learn how to do something.
Live demonstrations are at the centre of GEXTRECS to:
- validate concepts, components and processes in near real-life situations,
- catalyse interdisciplinary collaboration and mutual learning within the project team,
- facilitate deeper engagement with the topic to meet the actual needs of End-Users,
- raise awareness on advantages and limitations of technological solutions, and
- foster collective action of a diverse range of stakeholders.
Lessons learnt from demonstrations will inform the development of a GOVSATCOM Crisis Management Service Pack Roadmap. This roadmap will define a technology-driven approach to closing the technical, operational, and security gaps highlighted by stakeholders.
In addition, the demonstrations will provide valuable insights to inform policy recommendations—particularly regarding the need for adaptable regulations and legal structures to enable technological and operational progress based on GOVSATCOM use cases in massive crisis management.
