M7.4 - Impact Report [D&E&C results preliminary version]

The overall objective of WP7 “Dissemination, exploitation and communication” is to address dissemination, exploitation and communication of the project at all levels and through multiple modalities to ensure the FAIR-IMPACT objectives and impacts are achieved. To assure this, an effective and efficient communication, dissemination and stakeholder engagement strategy and plan was defined at the beginning of the project (D7.1 Dissemination, exploitation and communication plan, delivered in M3). 

The plan was built around four specific campaigns, each one with clear objectives and actions custom designed around the target stakeholders that the project is addressing.  

The campaign-based approach ensures coverage of all the activities and outputs subject to the promotion and outreach plan and to monitor their assessment, and will be continued also in the second reporting period. An effective and smooth coordination and organisation of the project events as well as increased visibility of the project and its activities at third party events will be maintained across all the four campaigns above, and an initial list of events organised and attended in the first 24 months is provided in this report.

The implementation of the plan depends on the active support of FAIR-IMPACT partners and progress will continue to be monitored through fortnightly virtual WP meetings and a monitoring plan, including in this report. Additional meetings may be scheduled at any appropriate time throughout the project duration, if necessary.

The success of WP7 is based on the joint and coordinated effort from all FAIR-IMPACT partners not only on the communication activities but also on the quality of the technical, scientific and content-related work that will be developed during the project time frame.

The present report provides preliminary information on the impact already achieved, as well as expected to be achieved, by the project activities and outputs, through the project’s dissemination, exploitation and communication actions by the end of the second year of FAIR-IMPACT.
