Les orateurs donnent un à deux exemples de la manière dont leurs résultats, ou les approches qu'ils ont identifiées, ont été utilisées par des Conseils Régionaux et d'autres organismes. Les participants en petits groupes indiquent les autorités et les politiciens qui ont utilisé ou montré de l'intérêt pour les résultats identifiés par les projets dans la partie 1) ci-dessus.
