Communication, Dissemination & Outreach Plan

Results will be communicated to the scientific community in three different formats: open-access scientific publications on international peer-reviewed journals (at minimum two, expected three); seminars for researchers and students at UCIBIO (national level) and international conferences via poster sessions or (if possible) oral presentations (at minimum one, expected 2). We recognize the importance of Open Science and facilitated flow of knowledge and information and appropriate dissemination measures will be undertaken in this direction, as annual publications in Open Access journals and presentations in specialized conferences and meetings (Biomedical, Ageing and Computational Biology topics). Journal abstracts and presentations will be uploaded to social networks such as Linkedin and ResearchGate. To promote knowledge and formation in detecting transcription noise from RNA-seq data, the host group will present an application to organize an EMBO-Practical Course in this topic, similar to the one awarded by our group in 2020. Communication to the general public will be achieved through different means namely, websites, press releases, talks for lay audience, open days and social media - LinkedIn, Research Gate, Twitter, YouTube and Facebook. For this, the host group will rely on the communication department of UCIBIO, which is responsible for disseminating relevant discoveries and breakthroughs, prizes, and achievements of UCIBIO research. Moreover, UCIBIO has developed exceptional work promoting a two-way interaction between researchers and a wide range of audiences, including schools and media. Several types of activities have been regularly enrolled, namely workshops and hands-on activities for younger generations, meetings involving scientists and different publics and media training activities for scientists.
