COLUMBUS Dissemination & Exploitation Plan, including website

A draft Dissemination and Exploitation Plan (DEP) will be ready before the start of the project, in line with EC funding rules, and it will be finalised early in the project, and validated by the partnership on an annual basis. It will adopt EC best practice communication guideline principles and define the objectives, target end-users, planned tools and channels, responsibilities, resources and metrics for measuring impact. On an annual basis, the plan will be evaluated for effectiveness and adjusted if needed, following inputs from the partnership and consortium bodies. A portfolio of dissemination resources and tools will be developed to facilitate promotion and widespread awareness of the project including strong and distinguished branding, website, factsheet, PowerPoint template, and other suitable promotional material.
