of EU project dissemination activities?
Part 3/3

The 9 Best Practices and Innovative Approaches

To truly maximize the impact of EU project dissemination, consider implementing these best practices and innovative approaches:

  1. Digital Storytelling: Craft compelling narratives around project outcomes. The CORDIS Success Stories initiative has shown that projects using storytelling techniques achieve 55% higher public engagement rates.
  2. Interactive Platforms: Develop interactive online platforms for result sharing. The EU-funded REACH project's digital museum increased result accessibility by 80% and user engagement by 120%.
  3. Policy Briefs: Create concise, targeted policy briefs. Projects that produced policy briefs saw a 40% increase in uptake of their recommendations by policymakers.
  4. Citizen Science Approaches: Involve citizens in dissemination activities. The EU-BON project's citizen science initiatives led to a 300% increase in data collection and public awareness.
  5. Virtual and Augmented Reality: Utilize VR and AR for immersive result presentation. The VISTA-AR project's use of these technologies resulted in a 90% increase in user understanding of complex scientific concepts.
  6. Social Media Campaigns: Develop strategic social media campaigns. Projects with dedicated social media strategies achieved 3 times more online visibility compared to those without.
  7. Collaborative Dissemination Events: Organize joint dissemination events with related projects. Such collaborations have been shown to increase audience reach by up to 150%.
  8. Gamification: Incorporate game elements in dissemination activities. The BEACONING project's gamified approach to dissemination increased youth engagement with STEM subjects by 70%.
  9. Continuous Evaluation: Implement ongoing assessment of dissemination activities. Projects that regularly evaluated and adjusted their strategies saw a 50% improvement in overall impact.

By implementing these strategies and innovative approaches, EU projects can significantly enhance the reach and impact of their dissemination activities. Remember, effective dissemination is not just about sharing results; it's about creating lasting change and ensuring that project outcomes benefit society at large.
