The deliverable D1.7 DECO Activity Report (Years 3 and 4) is conceived as a self-evaluation exercise that has the ultimate purpose of reporting and assessing the communication, dissemination and exploitation activities of the MOVING project.

This deliverable follows D1.4 DECO Activity Report (Years 1 and 2), and it is grounded on the final MOVING Strategy on Communication, Dissemination, Exploitation and Outreach developed in February 2024 (D1.6 DECO Strategy – final). In particular, this deliverable has two specific objectives:

• Analyse the performance of communication, dissemination and exploitation activities implemented by the project in years 3 and 4 and its contribution to achieving MOVING’s objectives and Key Performance Indicators.
• Draw lessons, identify areas of improvements, and design actions and follow-up steps to be taken by the project to improve the communication, dissemination and exploitation activities.

The first three Sections of this deliverable provides an introduction to the scope of the document, a contextualization of the project and an overview of the methodology used to monitor and assess the communication, dissemination and outreach activities.

Section 4 describes communication, dissemination and outreach activities carried out by the MOVING project and its partners in Years 3 and 4 of the implementations. This section details the products, channels and methods used by the project, as well as synergies occurred with external channels and media to outreach a larger audience.
