     • Approach to development and articulation of scientific, benefit and impact case for LhARA initiative;
     • Identification of regional/local stakeholders with which to develop impact, business and benefit cases;
     • Ideally seek resource through co-working/co-creation with local stakeholders to the benefit of LhARA institutes and local organisations and local economy.
