Dissemination, Communication & Exploitation

The project activities, progress and results were thoroughly and regularly disseminated and communicated to both a professional community as well as the general public, to support the project’s ambitions of sharing the lessons learned to other cities and districts in the EU. For this, a dedicated website, social media activities, promotional material, news articles, scientific publications, information booklets, newsletters, webinars, videos, etc. were carried out and supported by all partners. Partners actively promoted the outcomes of the project at regional, national and international events, both physically and digitally.

Moreover, the project results were disseminated to higher education, involving students in developing PEDs in the Lighthouse Cities. New education material for students and professional audiences were developed in the form of e.g. MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses). Dedicated student lectures and tours were organised to teach and informed about PEDs.

A framework for exploitation of the results and innovative measures that have been demonstrated in the project’s lifespan were developed and implemented. The exploitation of project results was based on active intellectual property (IP) management.

This work package was led by Steinbeis Europa Zentrum.
