==Executive Summary==
==SDD Co-Laboratory Overview==
This report has been developed in the context of the [[CARDIAC]] project (FP7 - Coordinating Action: Grant Agreement 248582). The goal of the project is to create a platform that can bring together the various stakeholders in the area of accessible and assistive ICT with a view to identifying Research & Development gaps and emerging trends and generating a research agenda roadmap.


The workshop was facilitated by Dr.[[Yiannis Laouris]] ([[Cyprus Neuroscience and Technology Institute |CNTI]]), Dr. [[Aleco Christakis]] , Dr. Antonis Loizou, Mrs. Maria Kyprianou.


This report was prepared in the context of the project “Human Rights and Reconciliation – Civil Society Acts Beyond Borders’.


<u>The [[Triggering Question]] (TQ) was </u><br>
The project brought together stakeholders from Israel and the Palestinian Territories with the view of facilitating the peaceful conciliation and management of group interests and promoting solutions on divisive matters or controversial areas.
'''What mechanisms would ensure successful technology transfer in accessible and assistive ICT products and services?'''


In response to the TQ, the 21 participants came up with 55 mechanisms, which were categorized in 10 clusters. Following the voting process, 37 ideas received one or more votes and were structured to create the influence MAP shown below. <br>


The Triggering Question (TQ) was:

<br>
[[File:Cardiac_I_map.jpg|thumb|center|upright=2.0|alt=MAP for CARDIAC III.|Influence tree on the mechanisms that would ensure successful technology transfer in accessible and assistive ICT products and services.]]
 
'''“What are descriptors of a mutually beneficial co-existence of Israelis and Palestinians?”'''
 
<br>
In response to the TQ, the 21 participants of the interactive co-laboratory collected a total of 69 descriptors. In the next step, a smaller group of the participants clustered all ideas. The following ten clusters were formed:<br>
 
<br>
 
Cluster 1: Freedom of Movement
<br>
Cluster 2: Sustainable Future for Israel
<br>
Cluster 3: Civil Society
<br>
Cluster 4: Equality and Self-determination
<br>
Cluster 5: Controversial Issues
<br>
Cluster 6: Allocation of Priorities
<br>
Cluster 7:      Economic Cooperation
<br>
Cluster 9: Coexistence Tools
<br>
Cluster 10:    No More War
<br>
 
<br>
 
Having classified all ideas according to the clusters, all participants voted for their most favourable descriptors. The votes were widely spread among most of the descriptors. The descriptors that received the most votes were:<br>
 
<br>
 
Descriptor# 50 (12 votes):  The Palestinian refugees will return.
<br>
Descriptor# 9 (10 votes):    Moving from one city to other without wasting time at checkpoints.
<br>
Descriptor# 7 (8 votes):      Each people dealing with the problems and desires independently but with cooperation and mutual assistance.
<br>
Descriptor# 68 (7 votes):    A major decrease of both  nationalism and religiosity ideas and perceptions of life among people of both sides.
<br>
Descriptor# 36 (6 votes):    Israel  and  Palestine will be a major player in the world economy.
<br>
Descriptor# 60 (6 votes):    After one year from now we will not see any Palestinian in Israeli prisons.
<br>
 
 
The voting results were used to select ideas for the subsequent structuring process which resulted in the creation of what is called ‘a tree of influences', shown below. <br>
 
<br>
<br>
==Tree of Influence==
[[File:Tree_of_influence3s.jpg|thumb|center|upright=5.0|alt=MAP for  Tree_of_influence3s.|Influence tree  ]]
<br>
The highly complex ‘tree of influence’, also referred to as an ‘influence map’ consists of five different levels of influence. Descriptors at the bottom are considered to be the most influential. Making progress or achieving results in the bottom descriptors makes it a lot easier to address those that lie higher in the map.


According to the participants of this workshop, the characteristics appear to be the most influential  were: <br>
* Mechanism #1, Big delay in decision making from the governmental side


The participants had time to discuss and reflect on the influence map and in general agreed that the arrows in the map made sense to them. In sum, the participants reported their satisfaction that their voices have been heard and documented and communicated their expectations for follow-up activities to address the diagnosis of their needs.<br> <br>
The workshop was facilitated by [[Elena Aristodemou]] ([[Cyprus Neuroscience and Technology Institute |CNTI]]), [[Aleco Christakis]] and [[Georgina Siitta Achilleos]] ([[Cyprus Neuroscience and Technology Institute |CNTI]]).


==Findings' Summary==
In summary, almost all participants agreed that the following ideas are the most influential and agreed that further actions must take these ideas into account:<br>
<br>
'''Descriptor# 17''': Mutual  agreements  and  programs  in  order  to create mutual basis of understanding.
<br>
'''Descriptor# 22''': The fulfilment of Palestinians’ national ambitions.
<br>
'''Descriptor# 16''': The  important  thing  is  that  the  war  is  stopped and  no  more  people  are  killed  from  the  two sides - Palestinian side and Israeli side.
<br>
'''Descriptor# 2''': Security and sustainable reality for Israelis and the Jewish people.
<br>
'''Descriptors#7 (cycle)''': Each  people  dealing  with  the  problems  and desires independently but with cooperation and

SDD Co-Laboratory Overview

The workshop was facilitated by Dr.Yiannis Laouris (CNTI), Dr. Aleco Christakis , Dr. Antonis Loizou, Mrs. Maria Kyprianou.

This report was prepared in the context of the project “Human Rights and Reconciliation – Civil Society Acts Beyond Borders’.

The project brought together stakeholders from Israel and the Palestinian Territories with the view of facilitating the peaceful conciliation and management of group interests and promoting solutions on divisive matters or controversial areas.


The Triggering Question (TQ) was:

“What are descriptors of a mutually beneficial co-existence of Israelis and Palestinians?”


In response to the TQ, the 21 participants of the interactive co-laboratory collected a total of 69 descriptors. In the next step, a smaller group of the participants clustered all ideas. The following ten clusters were formed:


Cluster 1: Freedom of Movement
Cluster 2: Sustainable Future for Israel
Cluster 3: Civil Society
Cluster 4: Equality and Self-determination
Cluster 5: Controversial Issues
Cluster 6: Allocation of Priorities
Cluster 7: Economic Cooperation
Cluster 9: Coexistence Tools
Cluster 10: No More War


Having classified all ideas according to the clusters, all participants voted for their most favourable descriptors. The votes were widely spread among most of the descriptors. The descriptors that received the most votes were:


Descriptor# 50 (12 votes): The Palestinian refugees will return.
Descriptor# 9 (10 votes): Moving from one city to other without wasting time at checkpoints.
Descriptor# 7 (8 votes): Each people dealing with the problems and desires independently but with cooperation and mutual assistance.
Descriptor# 68 (7 votes): A major decrease of both nationalism and religiosity ideas and perceptions of life among people of both sides.
Descriptor# 36 (6 votes): Israel and Palestine will be a major player in the world economy.
Descriptor# 60 (6 votes): After one year from now we will not see any Palestinian in Israeli prisons.


The voting results were used to select ideas for the subsequent structuring process which resulted in the creation of what is called ‘a tree of influences', shown below.

Influence tree



The highly complex ‘tree of influence’, also referred to as an ‘influence map’ consists of five different levels of influence. Descriptors at the bottom are considered to be the most influential. Making progress or achieving results in the bottom descriptors makes it a lot easier to address those that lie higher in the map.


Findings' Summary

In summary, almost all participants agreed that the following ideas are the most influential and agreed that further actions must take these ideas into account:


Descriptor# 17: Mutual agreements and programs in order to create mutual basis of understanding.
Descriptor# 22: The fulfilment of Palestinians’ national ambitions.
Descriptor# 16: The important thing is that the war is stopped and no more people are killed from the two sides - Palestinian side and Israeli side.
Descriptor# 2: Security and sustainable reality for Israelis and the Jewish people.
Descriptors#7 (cycle): Each people dealing with the problems and desires independently but with cooperation and mutual assistance.
