Dissemination
activities
The dissemination activities are based on the workpackage schedule of the Project.
The
objectives are mainly designing series of dissemination activities
to inform different types of audiences about the project itself
and of project results. Dissemination activities can be divided
in two levels:
- joint consortium activity on international level,
- national
level of dissemination, coordinated by partners in their countries.
These
activities may include press and electronic publications, workshops
and seminars, other forms of personal interaction with business
representatives, institutional and private audiences.
Information
on the project and its results will be addressed to:
- business
(farmers, processors and retailers),
- trade
and industry associations,
- academics,
- consumers,
- institutions,
including EU Commission,
- media
(e.g. press/journalists).
