Information about the project, background and on-going activities will have to be conveyed through press-releases, conferences and workshops. Establishment of a CRM system and co-working web-spaces, project transparency for common utilisation, and sectioned for each project participant. Presentations at relevant forums will also be central to the communication plan. In order to streamline the information flow, a profile handbook will be developed, briefs will be created, brochures and a project video will be created. This will all be included in a presskit. The project website (D9.1) will function both as a hub for communication within the workgroups and the general public. It shall also represent a necessary point of information for the consortium, other partners as well as stakeholders. Social media will be an another important media outlet, and a channel will be created for the different partners of VICINITY to inform about progress, products and results. D9.5-D9.7 will collect all this activities into a report, for the corresponding years of project activity.
