MS1_PICSE Communication Plan

The PICSE Communication Plan provides the foundations on which the project defines and implements activities, supporting the goals and priorities of the project. This ensures effective engagement and interaction with the target communities leading to effective impact as the project evolves over time.
To this end, the Plan aims to be sufficiently flexible so as to ensure focused activities can be coordinated as event participation and other new opportunities arise.
The overall objectives of the PICSE communication and dissemination strategy can be summarizes as follows:

1. Identifying and Engaging key stakeholders

2. Establishing strategic alliances

3. Timely communication and promotion of the PICSE main autcomes and of the opportunities offered by PCP/PPI actions

4. Outreach & visibility of the project

5. Developing a clear PICSE identity

This document explains the activities that will be carried out and the tools that will be implemented to achieve each of the above mentioned objectives. It also identifies major target audiences and outlines the consortium’s extensive collective networks. Finally, it sets out measures that will be used to coordinate and monitor activities, including indicators to gauge impact.
A review of the progress achieved in implementing the Communication Plan will be made at mid-term of the project (month 9) as part of Milestone 5.
At the end of the project the overview of the results coming from the outreach activities will be described in the Final Dissemination and Exploitation Report (month 18). Dissemination and communication activities will be coordinated by WP1 and performed in all the WPs with the support of all the partners.
