D6.2 - Dissemination, Communication and Exploitation Activities

The deliverable reports on the communication, dissemination, and exploitation activities of the Swarmchestrate project during the first half of the project duration. The “Communication Activities Report” section details the project's comprehensive communication strategy, which includes the development and active use of the project website to articulate goals and explain the four demonstrators and the value added to each one by Swarmchestrate, engagement via social media platforms, the distribution of a periodic newsletter, and the production of promotional videos and printed materials. Furthermore, it highlights the establishment of strategic liaisons with other projects funded under the same topic to co-organise impactful joint sessions in conferences, workshops, and webinars.

Subsequently, in the “Dissemination Activities Report” section the deliverable elaborates on the project's dissemination efforts, focusing on sharing Swarmchestrate's advancements with relevant communities. This encompasses the open-access publication of scientific findings aimed at the research community, active participation in key industry and academic events, and the organisation of dedicated workshops, webinars, and training sessions designed to achieve visibility within the general public, including non-scientists and university students. Notably, this section also details the project's significant contributions to standardisation communities, particularly its active engagement with the Topology and Orchestration Specification for Cloud Applications (TOSCA), involving both the enhancement of the specification and its practical application for describing cloud-to-edge continuum applications.

The “Exploitation Considerations” section addresses the project's exploitation activities, presenting the updated individual exploitation plans from all consortium partners. These plans describe how each partner—whether a university, research centre, or SME—intends to leverage the project's results to enrich their offerings, advance their research capabilities, and enhance their organisational status and market position. This section also clearly identifies the project's Key Exploitable Results (KERs), ensuring these are in full alignment with the exploitation strategy defined in the Description of Action (DoA) and incorporate feedback received during the project’s technical check, thereby providing a clear path towards future impact and valorisation of Swarmchestrate's outcomes.
