INTERSECT First report on dissemination and communication activity

The deliverable D4.4, "First report on dissemination and communication activities", deals with the launch and the initial communication and dissemination activities implemented to promote, diffuse, and share the INTERSECT project and its results. We report on the tools put into effect, the organized events, and all the performed actions related to communication and dissemination within the first 18 months of the project. This is part of WP4 "Exploitation, dissemination & Communication" and of tasks 4.2. "Dissemination Activities", and 4.3 "Communication Activities", both coordinated by CNR unit (CNR) in collaboration with all the other partners. The strategic goal of the Communication Strategy is to support the objectives for dissemination, exploitation and sustainability through regular stakeholder outreach and tailored messages. The strategy is to channel the results of the project towards different media, which are better suited for the communication towards end-users, citizens, civil organizations, and policy makers. Such actions have been launched during the initial part of the project and will take place during its overall duration but might span beyond the project duration.
