Executive Summary

All project deliverables will have an Executive Summary.  

• For the Executive Summary, all deliverables should follow these guidlelines:
• Length: please limit the Executive Summary to 1 page (2 pages in exceptional cases).
• ALL deliverables must have conclusions at the end of the document.
• Goal: The Executive summary is not an “introduction” to the deliverable. The main goal of this section is to provide readers with a whole picture of the document (i.e. the abstract section from the papers), so that they can understand the content of the deliverable at once without further reading.
• Self-contained: If there is any input coming from other deliverables, it must be mentioned here.
• Motivation for the reader (Recommended: 1 –10  lines):
  • What is the reason for being for this deliverable? Which challenges it addresses?
  • What will the reader will learn from it?
• Main results and findings (Recommended: 5 to 50 lines):
  • What are the main results achieved?
  • How does it contribute in the DE4A context?
• Short conclusions (Recommended: 1 to 10 lines):
  • Key takeaway messages

• Style: Please use a formal and practical writing style without jargon.
