Publishable summary: This deliverable presents the Mid-term report on communication and dissemination activities for CORALIS, describing the implementation of the Communication and Dissemination (C&D) Plan, which has guided the consortium’s communication and dissemination activities in the first 2 years of the project so far and which will be carried out during the rest of the project’s life cycle, to maximize its impact throughout the project and beyond.
It should be noted that CORALIS is an innovation action, which means that the C&D Plan has been set in a way that will also take into account the commercialization of the results. Within this framework, even though the project’s brand identity development has started from an early stage, the identity of the final commercial product that will result from the project activities may be adapted and launched under a new name.
This document is a report on the dissemination and communication activities that have taken place from M1 (October 2020) to M24 (September 2022) of the CORALIS project. These have resulted from the implementation of the Communication and Dissemination (C&D) Plan (whose updates are hereby described), the roadmap that coordinates all the communication and awareness raising processes, but also the management and monitoring of dissemination activities with a view to ensure the highest possible outreach of the project’s activities and results to the relevant target groups that have been identified. It also describes necessary steps to be taken in cooperation with other project tasks.
In more detail, this document includes the following:
o The dissemination objectives of the CORALIS project;
