D 8.11 - Dissemination and communication plan - Third version

According to the European Commission H2020 Online Manual, "dissemination means sharing research results with potential users - peers in the research field, industry, other commercial players and policymakers", which implies contributing to the progress of science in general. Being these activities one of the general features/requirements for Coordination and Support Actions. This document has been produced with the objective of ensuring that the foreseen dissemination and communication activities in CarE-Service are appropriately and effectively undertaken by the consortium partners during the course of the project. To ensure effective dissemination and communication project results, a dedicated Dissemination & Exploitation Work Package (WP8) exists and within that, the Dissemination Plan has the general aim of maximizing project's visibility, presenting the results to the target audiences in order to strengthen the overall impact of the project. WP8, Dissemination & Exploitation, runs in parallel to the other WPs over the project's lifetime and focuses on defining a comprehensive and consistent project dissemination and communication strategy, which will ensure maximum project visibility and the sustainability of its results beyond the lifetime of the project. All project partners are involved in the dissemination and communication work package and related activities. CSIC is responsible for WP8 and coordination of the dissemination and communication activities, with the support of the lead project partner, CNR.
