Dissemination and Communication strategy

The current document is a report on Deliverable 7.1 “Dissemination and Communication strategy” (M3); from Workpackage WP7 “Communication and Dissemination” of the ATHENA project (GA nº 101006416). This report is a concise plan to guide the communication and dissemination activities of the ATHENA project. The tools, procedures and guidelines to be adopted by partners are defined to ensure a clear, constant and coherent communication and dissemination of the project results to the desired target audiences.

The D7.1 report intends to be a starting point to integrate the perspectives of organizations with different purposes, backgrounds and visions with the same goal of removing barriers to the recruitment, retention and career progression of female researchers; address gender imbalances in decision making processes; generate a cultural change needed to avoid future gender bias and discriminatory practices. The implementation of the GEPs will generate a sustainable cultural and institutional change that in turns will allow to unlock the research potential of the partnering organizations.

The “Communication & Dissemination Strategy” is a document that will evolve and develop during the project’s life cycle, in order to respond to the partners’ needs if necessary taking in to account the changes agreed by the consortium partners and following the Grant Agreement commitments.
