D7.1 Dissemination, communication & stakeholders' engagement Strategy

The GE Academy project aims at developing and implementing a high-quality capacity-building programme on gender equality in research, innovation and higher education. The capacity-building programme will be based on state-of-the-art knowledge and composed of a series of tailor-made training materials and different training formats (including: Physical Trainings, Summer Schools, Physical Interactive workshops, Webinars, Distributive Open Collaborative Courses (DOCCs), Train-the-Trainer sessions) and it will be executed in at least 15 countries. At the same time, a pan-European network of gender trainers, both female and male, will be established so as to trainers, practitioners and researchers will be trained, coached and upskilled for delivering gender training sessions tailored to the R&I and HE communities all over Europe and beyond. This deliverable provides an overview of the project’s dissemination and communication strategy focusing on the project’s target groups, the development of appropriate communication messages, the dissemination channels and tools that are used and will be used as well as the planning and monitoring procedures to ensure the quality and effectiveness of the communication activities. This plan will be reviewed and updated on a regular basis for assessing new and possible dissemination opportunities that would emerge during the course of the project
