Report on communication dissemination and outreach

This document gives an overview of the main communication, dissemination and outreach activities of AIDAinnova performed over the course of the project. 

In the context of this report, the following terms can be defined as follows:

Communication: Informing external interested parties and internal project participants of the latest news, updates, events, and progress of the project, to demonstrate how its goals are being achieved and its impact on science and society. 

Dissemination: Sharing research results with people who can best make use of them, including scientists, engineers, experts, industrial partners, innovators, etc. 

Outreach: Reaching a new audience of potentially interested parties, including young people and the wider public, to introduce them to the project topic and its related activities. 

This report combines communication and outreach in one section and treats dissemination activities in a separate section. 

The project was set up to perform these activities through a variety of creative means that include building a digital and physical identity and presence for the project, communicating results, updates and news through different platforms, and engaging project partners to contribute. 

A series of targets related to these activities were established at the outset of the project and these have largely been met, and in some cases significantly surpassed. The overall performance of the communication, dissemination and outreach activities have also been tracked through analytics and statistics, which show that they have been successful.
