Project outputs’ valorisation and dissemination

Objectives

Design, construct and efficient dissemination of pertinent information products, for different pre-selected target audiences (Mercosur, EU, internal, external, public, private, scientific, EC, …). The slogan of this WP, is “Information only has a value, if timely read by the appropriate customer”.

Description of work

• Web-site construction & maintenance
• Formulation of a strategy for the optimisation of expected output products and their priority target audiences. This activity will be conducted in close collaboration with the DGs involved. It is contemplated to perform this task as part of a SC meeting in Brussels, inviting relevant specialists and close stakeholders (from the 3 key audiences: policy makers, private agri-sector and academia).
• Production of the selected and redesigned innovative materials, and their appropriate diffusion, by the most efficient and cost-effective ways (e-mail & Internet playing a large role). Besides, scientific publications will be generated and diffused in the appropriate for a and journals.
• Face-to-face diffusion in the EU and in the Mercosur depends on the opportunities to integrate with other events, since after the initial budget cut, there are no (more) specific funds earmarked for this activity (envisioning close collaboration with relevant DGs).
