The last WP5 deliverables are out!
The EUMEPLAT project has just issued its last deliverables, focused on the recommendations coming from all the research tasks performed in these three years of fruitful academic cooperation.
These recommendations have been recently shared with relevant stakeholders and discussed during the project final event that took place in Brussels on 27 and 28 February 2024.
The two deliverables being strongly related, we advice to read them in parallel.
Deliverable 5.6
White Book of Recommendations
The report focuses on the critical areas on which the recommendations set in the deliverable 5.7 are premised. Practically speaking, D5.6 more largely draws on the notes from WP2, WP4 and WP5 while D5.7 on the notes from WP1, WP3 and WP5.
The report is organized as follows. The first section introduces four critical areas to be used to take together the results of the research tasks, based on both the EUMEPLAT deliverables and the recommendation notes provided by WP and task leaders, and namely: agency; values; culture; and fears. Merton’s (1949) distinction between latent and manifest functions is proposed as a general framework. In all cases, the report starts from the emerged criticalities, and then discusses the best practices and the possible remedies. Each of the four dimensions are treated as a whole, by reflecting of the indications coming from the different work-packages.
The deliverable has been drawn by Professor Andrea Miconi from IULM University, while also being based on a participatory approach. The notes provided by the task leaders and the WP leaders are listed out in deliverable 5.7 and annexed to the same document.

Deliverable 5.7
Short Policy Recommendations Report
Deliverable 5.7 results from the cooperation among all partners, and it is expected to take together the evidence-based recommendations, as they can be inferred from the different research tasks. As several topics are transversal to the Work-package organization (i.e., movie circulation in WP1 and WP3; or social media discourse in WP2 and WP4), the report does not follow the WP order, while grouping the recommendations into thematic clusters.
At the methodological level, the researchers followed a multi-step procedure, based on the participatory approach that has inspired the whole project, starting with the drawing of the semantic map of Europeanness and Europeanization, for WP1.
The style of the report reflects the variety of authors and approaches from which it results: some sections are more academic than others; in some cases, a direct use of
scientific bibliography is made, while in other cases the references point to the EUMEPLAT deliverables. It is our belief, in the end, that such a participatory method – albeit being time consuming, as expected – has proved to be particularly effective for giving voice to the different
identities and positions represented in the EUMEPLAT Consortium.
