Deliverable No. 7.7 Dissemination materials 3

WP7: user engagement, dissemination and training, aims at increasing awareness of the impact of Arctic changes on weather and climate of the Northern Hemisphere by developing relevant forms of communication to spread the project results and maximise the impact and exposure of the science produced to end-users, policy makers and the public at large.

To achieve this objective, WP7 has from the start of the project, developed several outreach materials as per deliverables D7.5 and D7.6. The WP will continuously update and add as relevant outreach materials targeted at various specific audiences that will be disseminated by the projects outreach team and its communication channels such as the project website and social media channels, by project partners on the occasion of seminars, conferences and at appropriate public exhibitions.

Several dissemination materials have been developed as per deliverables D7.5 and D.7.6 and are maintained and available to stakeholders, the public and project partners to use through the project website and / or its internal document management system. These include: the project logo, the project website, social media channels (Facebook and Twitter), a project flyer/brochure, a rollup poster and an introductory presentation of the project, project poster,a newsletter and frostbytes videos.

  Further dissemination materials will continuously be developed as needed throughout the project lifetime, tailored to specific end-user groups to disseminate project results, inform and impact stakeholders and policymakers and engage with end-users.

  Some foreseen materials are: a series of fact sheets, a series of policy briefs in cooperation with the EU project Blue-Action and the EU Arctic Cluster and an overview video.
