D23: Dissemination, Promotion, Scientific Outreach and Standardisation Report v2.0

This deliverable, D23 — Dissemination, Promotion, Scientific Outreach and Standardisation
Report v2.0 — provides a comprehensive, evidence-based account of the dissemination,
communication, scientific outreach, and standardisation activities of the CODECO across its
full project lifetime, M1 to M39 (January 2023 – March 2026). Building on the foundation
established in D22, this report demonstrates the evolution of WP6 activities from initial
visibility-building in Phase 1 toward sustained community engagement, industrial integration,
open-source ecosystem building, and active contributions to open standards in Phase 2.
Across M1–M39, CODECO produced 38 unique peer-reviewed publications — 13 journal
articles, 20 conference and workshop papers, and 5 preprints — with 8 journals in Q1 SJR-
ranked venues and 8 conference papers at ICORE A*-ranked venues, including IEEE
INFOCOM (×5), AAAI, USENIX NSDI, and AAMAS. The CODECO Zenodo community
accumulated over 2,247 unique views and 2,638 unique downloads across 76 total records
encompassing publications, presentations, white papers, deliverables, and datasets.
The project was represented at 68 events across 15 countries, significantly exceeding its KPI
of 50, and delivered 26 talks and presentations to audiences spanning academic, industrial,
standardisation, and public communities. CODECO partners held 18 TPC, steering
committee, and organising roles at major IEEE and ACM venues including IEEE INFOCOM,
IEEE ICDCS, IEEE Globecom, and ACM MobiCom. The consortium organised its own flagship
events — two editions of the ML4ECS workshop at HiPEAC 2025 and 2026 (jointly with
MLSysOps and EDGELESS), the IETF 123 Hackathon, the CONASENSE 2025 Workshop,
IRCEP Local Events, and the CODECO Final Event — collectively reaching several hundred
participants from across the European and international research and industry communities.
Standardisation activities delivered 16 documented contributions against a KPI of 10,
including 5 IETF drafts submitted to the COINRG, ALTO, DetNet, GREEN, and BMWG
working groups; 2 ETSI contributions; 2 community white papers; 2 EUCEI OpenContinuum
landscape deliverables in which CODECO is featured; 1 NetWorld Europe SRIA contribution;
and 2 AIOTI landscape reports featuring the project — one of which describes all six CODECO
pilots in detail. CODECO's inclusion in the OpenContinuum D2.2 deliverable1 feeds into an
emerging ISO/IEC JTC1 standardisation process for the CEI reference architecture. Two
dedicated CODECO Standardisation Events were organised: the IETF 123 Hackathon in
Madrid (July 2025) and the CODECO Standardisation Workshop 2026 (February 2026).
Public dissemination reached 6,200 website visitors across the project lifetime — averaging
over 2,000 per year against a KPI of 500 — and 662 LinkedIn followers, more than three
times the KPI of 200. The CODECO Learning Hub, launched in Phase 2, provides four
categories of educational resources (LEARN, WATCH, LISTEN, ACCESS) and will be
maintained for a minimum of five years post-project alongside the website, Zenodo
community, and Eclipse GitLab open-source repository.
The IRCEP programme structured external engagement through challenge-based
competitions, with Best Talk awards distributed at the HiPEAC 2025 ML4ECS workshop,
CONASENSE 2025, and with IRCEP Challenges engaging students and early-career
researchers across Europe.
Collaborative engagement with EUCEI, AIOTI, BDVA, HiPEAC, MLSysOps, EDGELESS,
NEMO, CyberNEMO, and five further Horizon Europe projects produced a joint white paper,
three co-authored publications, two co-organised workshop series, and sustained community
alignment that positions CODECO's outputs as lasting contributions to the European CEI
research ecosystem.
