The roadmap is intended to be a dynamic tool to be periodically reviewed and disseminated.

10. e-Frame Project Cross-cutting outputs • the development of the “Handbook on Measuring Progress” • The aim is to provide a Map of policy use of well-being indicators. • The MAP foresees the identification of major policies which are supposed to affect wellbeing indicators. • This will be done through: • collecting policy analysis and policy recommendations already produced, • the invitation of selected speakers who are asked to face the issue of policy use of indicators and • the promotion of a specific debate among participants to the events

11. e-Frame Project Cross-cutting outputs • the creation of a European network • researchers, practitioners, civil society organizations and policy makers • maintain the different stakeholders in touch during the duration of the project and beyond • communicate through e-Frame website and WikiProgress • the network will focus on the use of social, economic and environmental indicators within EU policies
