Deliverable D5.1: Communication, dissemination, and exploitation plan (CoDEP)

This document outlines the communication, dissemination, and exploitation plan (CoDEP) of the ORIGAMI project and presents the initial steps towards the implementation of the same.

The ORIGAMI project defines a dedicated Communication, Dissemination, and Exploitation Plan (CoDEP) that outlines the overall plan for all activities related to the diffusion of results generated by the consortium. The ORIGAMI CoDEP aims at changing the mindset of researchers and end users in industry and academia by promoting the adoption of the new layers proposed by ORIGAMI in architectural designs; it also encourages the widespread adoption of the solutions developed by ORIGAMI, including by major standardization bodies; and it fosters the communication to the general public about the implications that the ORIGAMI vision has on societal aspects. Therefore, the CoDEP targets the following three dimensions for the diffusion of the ORIGAMI action.

• Communication activities. These activities encompass all actions concerning the promotion of the project and its results beyond the project's own community. Hence, the target of this activity is the non-specialist general public, and the message shall be encoded in a way that is understood by this audience.
• Dissemination activities. These activities have the goal of raising awareness of the ORIGAMI results in the technical community that is working and researching in mobile telecommunications. These activities will usually be performed through peer-reviewed publications in scientific conferences and journals, and through participation and organization of technical events.
• Exploitation activities. These activities cover initiatives that foster further research activities, i.e., other than those covered by ORIGAMI. These include (i) activities to develop, create and market products or processes, (ii) activities to create and provide a service, and (iii) standardization activities.
