DISSEMINATION
STRATEGY COACHING

DANDELION can analyse your dissemination strategy and activities and provide guidelines and suggestions to better identify stakeholders who are relevant for your research and then address them through appropriate channels.

The coaching will also help you to improve your project’s visual identity as well as its dissemination material, with attractive design and content ideas for public presentations, factsheets, project leaflets, press releases, articles in magazines and other forms of creative communications.

Online
Marketing

DANDELION can help you to tailor your online marketing strategy.

We can give you valuable advice on improving your Search Engine Optimization (so that your project will rank higher in online searches using key words), setting your PPC campaign and taking advantage of DANDELION’s SSH/IIRS SEED Research Library – see below. The DANDELION team contributes to several blogs and newsletters through which it will be able to provide added impact for your research.

Dandelion seed research library

DANDELION has developed an online collaborative platform, designed specifically for the communication of SSH/IIRS research results in a contextualized format using the innovative SEED Research Library. As well as providing projects with the opportunity to display results in an attractive, multi-media format that integrates all social media activity, the platform also provides you with the opportunity to communicate directly with all stakeholders you know have an interest in your work.

SOCIAL NETWORKS

Useful hints on the creation and maintentance of social media accounts (LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube) will be provided to selected projects.

These accounts can be used as direct communication channels with the target audiences to inform them about results, events, news and the status of the project.

Social Media
Games

DANDELION also connects selected projects with target audiences by using gamification.

Apps and social media games have great potential to engage younger audience for prolonged periods of time while also providing valuable information about key research findings in an engaging manner. If the contents of your project are suitable for this innovative communication strategy, we will design specific games to reach your target audience.

multi-stakeholder
community engagement

DANDELION brings researchers closer to their
stakeholders, for a common benefit.

BarCamps...

Are born from the desire of people to share and learn in an open environment. They will be run as intense events with discussions, demos and interaction from attendees. Anyone with something to contribute or with the desire to learn about the selected projects will be welcome to join.

A Charrete...

is a structured brainstorming session, which tries to bring insights in from as many angles as possible by engaging various shareholders. DANDELION Charrettes involve representatives from the DANDELION project and representatives from several relevant EU projects as well as several external experts.

Selected projects will be invited to our exciting multi-stakeholder engagement events.

Communication
Guides

DANDELION has developed a “Guide of good practices for communication”, and this focuses on providing relevant insights for effective dissemination aimed at the four main target groups: general public, policy makers, academia and media.

The project has also produced a “Guide of good practices for dissemination and exploitation managers” and this focuses on providing a strategic dissemination and communication plan that dissemination and exploitation managers of EU-funded research projects can use to raise awareness about their work and better communicate their results.
