Receiving funding from the EU (e.g. Horizon 2020 or Eurostars awards) also comes with contractual obligations for dissemination and engagement of and with your project. To comply with EU-guidelines, these efforts should go beyond typical marketing strategies by combining science communication and effective stakeholder engagement for a three-way impact:

Visibility:  Utilize a broad range of platforms to distribute stakeholder co-created materials and to maximize overall impact and visibility.

Public trust & awareness:  Identify core values and increase the societal impact of the project by incorporating patient/end-user needs and understanding public attitudes and opinions, resulting in trust and awareness among the public.

Commercial outreach: Develop an effective dissemination strategy and engage stakeholders, raising your commercial profile and visibility to funding agencies, policy makers, and potential partners
