Deliverable 7.1. Detailed communication and dissemination plan

The present document will introduce the very essence of the project and its engineering process. Besides assessing dissemination of the results and stakeholder engagement are central to the success of CHESS SETUP, this document will also shape a detailed communication plan and a dissemination guideline. The CHESS SETUP consortium recognises that dissemination activities are an essential and pervasive activity throughout the project’s life, and that each of its members may contribute to it. The present Plan aims to detail the strategy to broadcast CHESS SETUP messages to its public but also the ways to obtain feedback from its audience.

CHESS SETUP communication plan’s creed may be “first raise awareness, then disseminate achievements” as it was introduced throughout the kick off meeting (Barcelona, 07/07/2016). Thus, the following document will extract the essence of the project’s goals, the philosophy and challenges lying behind it. It will define the key messages to spread, identify the stakeholders, the best communication channels to reach them, and finally the tools that will ensure the dissemination’s efficiency.
