Updated Communication and Dissemination Plan (including "Events")

Regional research and innovation plans are key drivers for local regional development. By adopting
RRI approaches to their R&I policies and actions, TRANSFORM aims to achieve more open,
transparent and democratic R&I ecosystems within three regional clusters (Lombardy, Catalonia and
Brussels-Capital), leading towards more responsible territorial development. The implementing
regional clusters will design, test and disseminate three methodological frameworks (participatory
research agenda setting, citizen science, design thinking for social innovation) at the forefront of the
implementation of their S3 strategies.

Through communication activities, TRANSFORM aims to improve overall general awareness about
RRI and create a dialogue between institutions dedicated to territorial development. Through wide
dissemination of project results, are dedicated to empowering diverse stakeholders to implement
and/or engage with the development of RRI, promote shared learning and spread/share out of
governance innovations.

The present Updated Communication and Dissemination Plan is instrumental to achieving the
objective formulated above and is as such integrated into and supporting all the other activities of
the project. WP6 works closely with other WPs to ensure two-way communication flows and sharing
of information to maximise the impact of the project.

The TRANSFORM Communication and Dissemination Plan is a living document. This is an updated
version of the initial Communication and Dissemination Plan submitted in M4. It provides an
overview of communication and dissemination activities that took place until M15, progress in
achieving the set KPIs and it also outlines next steps and activities. The Plan evolves over time, as a
result of new or emerging information, opportunities or trends.
In the following sections, the key features of the Communication and Dissemination Plan are
presented in detail, including:
• Communication objectives
• Stakeholder mapping
• Communication channels and tools
