TIER2 D2.1 Stakeholder Communication & Engagement Plan

This project deliverable has been submitted to, but not yet reviewed by the Research Executive Agency, and might thus be subject to change. Dissemination, exploitation and communication play a vital role in TIER2 as primary means of ensuring knowledge transfer and uptake of results during and after the project’s lifetime. The current Stakeholder Communication and Exploitation Plan (SCEP) is developed to define targetspecific objectives and highlight concrete implementation actions. The current version of the SCEP is being developed in M6 of the project (June 2023), with scheduled updates for M24 (December 2025) and M36 (December 2026). This version presents TIER2 target audiences, and how they will be engaged with clear, understandable, coordinated, and effective project-relevant messages, results and tools. Additionally, the plan presents the main dissemination tools (website, press releases, scientific publications, social media, etc.), accompanied by descriptions, targets and evaluation measures for each. To measure the effectiveness of the Dissemination, Exploitation and Communication (DEC) efforts, the SCEP also provides a preliminary list of tailored Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) which will be tracked and updated according to project progress and needs in the update
