TechOceanS Deliverable 2.4. Plan for exploitation and dissemination of results (PEDR), Version 1.0.

Abstract

The TechOceanS Plan for Exploitation and Dissemination of Results (PEDR) describes the dissemination, communication and exploitation activities to be performed as a means to promote TechOceanS and exploit the project results. It is a dynamic document and therefore evaluated periodically for effective needs and adjusted if needed.

The TechOceanS PEDR outlines the EC rights and obligations of the consortium related to the dissemination and communication of project results, identifies key project stakeholders, defines the communication tools and channels and describes the means (tools, messages) of dissemination. In addition, it describes the internal processes and protocols set up to manage generated knowledge and to ensure exploitation of TechOceanS results.

The PEDR adopts EC best practice guidelines and defines the objectives of TechOceanS’ communication, dissemination and engagement strategy. It also identifies end-users, proposes communication tools and channels, and outlines responsibilities and resources to carry out effective knowledge management and measure impact. TechOceanS will develop and make use of the latest tools, resources and communication channels to ensure cost effectiveness and maximum impact.
