"Preliminary Dissemination Report", ExaNeSt project Deliverable D7.1

Dissemination of research results is an extremely important part of an H2020 European funded project. Effective dissemination will ensure that the project is widely adopted and used across Europe. Project partners are all deeply aware of the need of disseminating project results to those who will use ExaNeSt to build new HPC facilities, and to scientific communities and those SMEs who may ask for and use ExaNeSt powerful platform. The dissemination activities have already encompassed printed and electronic media/publications, workshops, demos, networking, conferences and a project website. The project partners will continue to disseminate ExaNeSt results to a broad audience of data sciences and to SMEs in the emerging HPC market. All the Member States of the EU-28 as well as key non-EU markets will be targeted to ensure the widest possible uptake of the new technologies developed within the project. Existing networks and contacts will be exploited as well as industry associations, consortiums and groups. This document presents the preliminary dissemination activities (in the first 12 months) undertaken against targets set out in the DoA for the ExaNeSt H2020 project.
