About

The overarching goal of COOP+ project is to strengthen the links and coordination of the marine science, Arctic research and biodiversity related Research Infrastructures (RI) that are part of the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) with international counterparts. The project aims to leverage international scientific cooperation and data exchange not only within EU countries but also with non-EU countries. One part of the project was to create a dissemination strategy that positions COOP+ initiative in collaboration with the involved RIs as reference to the main stakeholders at the international level. The strategy included the dissemination of foreground knowledge gained during the project, identifying the specific areas in which the project results can have a genuine influence and the different target groups. Particularly, attention was dedicated to the dissemination of RI products to the potential target groups, mainly policy makers, researchers and academics, SMEs, and citizens in general. These tasks are partly described in deliverables D3.1 and D3.2. The dissemination methods used and experiences gained through COOP+ project in addition to several environmental RI’s dissemination experiences are described in more detail in this document.
