IAM_COMPACT_D6.1_IAM_COMPACT_CDE_plan

A consolidated CDE plan, able to ensure high academic excellence and societal impact at the same time, is considered a key aspect of the IAM COMPACT activities to reinforce the  European and global scientific community, underpin climate policymaking, and enhance the science-policy interface in the light of the Paris Agreement and associated challenges. That said, all corresponding CDE activities lie at the core of IAM COMPACT, with the aim to establish a two-way profitable interdisciplinary and science-policy/science-society dialogue in a timely manner and via the best means and channels available.

This document details the CDE plan to be employed for the entire duration of IAM COMPACT. It outlines both the centrally led outreach activities and tools developed to ensure the efficient uptake and replication of the IAM COMPACT outcomes, and the decentralised efforts to be applied towards reaching and involving all interested actors and target groups through each partner’s stakeholder engagement process and contacts. In doing so, it provides clear guidance that considers “why”, “who”, “what”, “when”, and “how” to engage, as well as the promotional and informational materials that are fundamental for project outreach, and the measures to assess the successful implementation of the CDE activities.

Overall, the IAM COMPACT CDE activities are on track, following the initial plan laid out in the Grant Agreement. The focus is then placed on making the entire consortium committed to actively contributing to and boosting the impact and the exploitation potential of IAM COMPACT.
