TraceMyFish D7.2 1st dissemination & communication report

Effective dissemination and communication are important to assure that the TraceMyFish project results reach the appropriate stakeholders both during and at the end of the project duration. Work Package 7 is specially devoted to the dissemination and communication activities, as well as tackling responsible research and innovation (RRI) aspects of the project.

This communications and dissemination report (D7.2) gives a description of the main communications and dissemination activities which the TraceMyFish consortium during the first project year, and gives an updated plan of the upcoming activities that will be incorporated during the second (and last) project year. Furthermore, the report summarizes the dissemination and communication progress based on the key performance indicators (KPIs) defined in the Communications and dissemination plan (D7.1) to monitor the progress within Work package 7.

The monitoring of the KPIs were used to assess the effectiveness of the communication and dissemination activities, which will be summarized and reported on an annual basis throughout the project duration. The mid-project evaluation (M12) will, furthermore, be used to identify stakeholder groups that might require further attention in the dissemination activities, and these groups will thus be targeted specifically in the second year of the project.

Deliverable 7.2 will be followed up with the second annual reporting on the communications and dissemination activities (deliverable 7.3, due in M24), as well as by the submission of annual reports on human capacity building (HCB) activities facilitated by the TraceMyFish project (deliverables 7.4-7.5 in M12 and M24, respectively).
