Objectives

Produce and publicise project deliverables relevant for different users: the scientific community, policy community and citizen’s associations. Deliverables will be disseminated through the project monograph, papers in journals, rapid reports and via internet.

Description of Work

In order to establish an interaction between project outputs and user demands this work package is allocated to exploitation and dissemination. The dissemination includes:

• Publication of at least one special thematic journal issue dealing with themes relevant to the project;
• Publication of a monograph on the subject relevant to the project;
• Organisation of workshops at conferences organised by professional associations, citizens’ associations and/or the Commission;
• Participation of consortium partners at seminars and conferences;
• Organisation of round table discussions with policy makers at national level;
• Establishment of close co-operation with other consortia working on relevant themes under the 4th and 5th Framework Programmes;
• Exchange of information with citizen’s organisation active in the field of family rights, reproductive rights, gender equity and rights of elderly people;
• Preparation and dissemination of rapid reports;
• Establishment of a special website on the project with links to other relevant websites;
• Public dissemination of the International Database.

Characteristic of our dissemination strategy is that we distinguish between types of users and seek to develop specific activities and use different dissemination tools for each type of user. In view of reaching a large audience rapid reports will be prepared by the coordinator and distributed in printed and electronic form following the production of each deliverable.
