Communication, Dissemination & Exploitation

We plan and deliver communication, dissemination and exploitation (CDE) for research and EU-funded projects: strategy with KPIs, identity, websites, content, events, policy briefs and exploitation plans.

Your results, in front of the people who matter.

In Horizon Europe and most EU programmes, communication and dissemination are not decoration. They are scored in the proposal's Impact section, and the communication and dissemination plan is a contractual deliverable. Evaluators want to see who will use the results, how they will hear about them, and what remains after the project ends.

We treat the three strands separately:

  • Communication: telling the wider public about the project and why it matters.
  • Dissemination: getting results to those who can use them (scientists, industry, policymakers).
  • Exploitation: putting results to real use in the market, in policy or in society.

With a background in marketing, events and international promotion, we connect dissemination to the market, so results don't stay in a drawer. We also help ΕΣΠΑ grant holders meet their publicity obligations.

Frequently asked questions

Is a communication and dissemination plan mandatory?

In Horizon Europe a draft dissemination, exploitation and communication plan is part of the proposal, and the communication and dissemination plan is a contractual project deliverable.

What is the difference between communication, dissemination and exploitation?

Communication tells the wider public about the project. Dissemination gets results to those who can use them. Exploitation is about actually using the results in the market, policy or society.

Can you join our consortium as the communication partner?

Yes. Depending on the project, we can join as the partner leading or supporting the communication and dissemination work package, or work as a service provider.

What publicity must an ΕΣΠΑ grant holder do?

Beneficiaries must acknowledge EU funding, for example on their website and social media and with a poster or plaque, following each programme's rules and guidelines. We prepare everything needed.

What happens to the project website after the project ends?

We design it to stay available and useful after the project, as part of the results' sustainability and legacy plan.

Writing a proposal or starting a project?

The earlier communication and dissemination are planned, the stronger the proposal and the impact. Let's talk.
