What we call ‘communication’ is more than just an additional reporting burden. Europe’s future economic growth and jobs will increasingly have to come from innovation in products, services and business models. With this in mind, communication about European research projects should aim to demonstrate the ways in which research is contributing to a European ‘Innovation Union’ and account for public spending by providing tangible proof.
This short guide will help you attain these outcomes. You will be given a clear overview of formal, contractual requirements on communication and their intended use. You will be inspired by some good practices emanating from fellow project coordinators. And you will find a helpful checklist for improving your own communication activities right from the start of your project. Finally, the European Commission is ready to spread the word about the good work of the projects it is supporting. Once you have some worthwhile material available, there are many ways in which we can help you pass on the message.
