Providing backup support or targeted/customised dissemination activities
Dissemination channels: VIKEF website, press releases, flyers, scientific papers, public deliverables and participation in conferences, workshops, etc.
Line 1: Build –up of a wide scope exposure and visibility (“shotgun approach”)
Line 2: Build –up a critical mass of “convinced” stakeholders (“sniper approach”)
Focused on:
Establishing networks of stakeholders & partners interested in taking advantage of Project´s outputs, either on the scientific and educational fields or looking for the creation of future business opportunities.
