Dissemination plan, 1st iteration

This task will carry out publicity and dissemination activities to the scientific, technical and industrial communities in order to ensure a substantial impact both at the EU level and at international level. The actions planned are: Generation and periodical actualization of publicity material: Logo, brochures, templates, and other actions that create identity, consistency and awareness of the project. Events Participation: The project partners will participate in multiple related European Events (Conferences, Fairs, Congresses, etc.) – a minimum of at least six events will be targeted. In addition, the consortium will identify at least 2 International Events (outside of Europe), where the main research and development results will be presented. A dedicated project partner will be responsible for the demonstration of the project results at Industrial, international large expositions and fairs, like the European ICT Conference, Automática, SPS/IPC Drives, CeBIT or the Hannover Fairs. A minimum of three workshops and/or special sessions within international conferences will be held at progressive stages in the work (concepts and approach, work-in-progress and final results). Publications: articles will be produced for international industrial-oriented conferences (e.g. IEEE INDIN (Industrial Informatics), IEEE ETFA (Emerging Technology and Factory Automation), IEEE ICIT (International Conference on Industrial Technology), IEEE ISIE (International Symposium on Industrial Electronics) and IECON (Annual Industrial Electronics Conference), scientific, technical journal and wide-publicity papers (e.g. White Paper, Press Release) by the research, technology supplier, and end-users partners of the project. At least two Press Releases addressing (i) PERFoRM Major Vision and (ii) PERFoRM major RTDI-outcomes and Initial Business Strategy. In order to increase the impact of the project, the consortium plans the generation, edition and publication of a Book addressing PERFoRM-vision, -approach, -results of prototype demonstrations and business strategy. A PERFoRM homepage with consortium-internal access, EU Commission (private) access and public access sections will be set up at the very beginning of the project to introduce project goals, objectives, scientific and technical approach and to expose the project outcomes for newcomers. In a complementary way, a PERFoRM-communication platform to facilitate the consortium-internal communication will be installed during the first quarter of the project.
