D7.2 First Dissemination and Communication Activities Report

This document reports on the work executed in WP7 – Task 7.1 Dissemination and Communication Activities with respect to the Dissemination and Communication Plan devised in M06 of the CYRENE project. The report provides a detailed overview of dissemination and communication activities during the first year of the project (M1-M12) and it is the first out of three reports that will be submitted on a yearly basis. The CYRENE consortium has drawn up a dissemination strategy whereby dissemination activities at all levels were defined in detail. This strategy sets out the plan to raise awareness, share knowledge, attract potential users, and explore future commercial use in the context of the CYRENE project, through various means, including the project’s website, distribution of dissemination material, publications in journals, and participation in conferences and other relevant events. As the objective of WP7 is to supervise the integrity and consistency of all dissemination efforts for creating awareness on the CYRENE achievements, the purpose of this document is to report on some of the dissemination activities that have already been performed but also to identify if any plan adjustments are needed. At this point, it has to be mentioned that any dissemination in itself is strongly connected to project’s partial developments and outcomes, therefore dissemination activities are continuously monitored and updated (frequent adjustments are expected) with respect to project’s objectives and KPIs. Thus, dissemination is considered a “living” task and this version (two more will follow according to WP7 time plan) provides an overview of what is known and planned at the time of the document preparation.The whole CYRENE consortium provided a contribution to the completion of this deliverabl
