ATLAS Deliverable 9.1 - Dissemination and Exploitation Plan (DEP)

The ATLAS Dissemination and Exploitation Plan (DEP) describes the activities to be performed and the dissemination and exploitation means to be used in order to promote ATLAS and exploit the project results.

The ATLAS DEP identifies the key project stakeholders, defines the communication and dissemination channels, describes the means (tools, messages) of dissemination and details the targeted events and conferences of the project. In addition, the DEP includes a link to the Data Management Plan (DMP) and describes the internal process set up to manage the knowledge outputs and to ensure exploitation of ATLAS results.

The DEP contains a set of protocols to ensure that all relevant knowledge produced by the project is carefully managed. The protocols are set up to:
a) Disseminate the ATLAS project and its results, ensuring information provision and awareness raising.
b) Collect, analyse and transfer research outputs (e.g. products, methodologies, findings) to end-users who can make the best use of those results. The transfer phase will ensure that relevant information and knowledge is customised so that it is ready for uptake by different target end-users.
c) Ensure ATLAS’s foreground and Intellectual Property (IP) are properly managed.
