This is a 1.5-day training course on dissemination, communication and exploitation for Horizon Europe proposals. It addresses all key aspects of the “Impact” section, from the theoretical, regulatory and contractual issues to the design of successful communication, dissemination and exploitation measures put in place in order to reach maximum impact once the project has been funded.
The course contains both theoretical and practical approaches and step-by-step guidance along with tips and hints for participants, and it is designed to improve the skills necessary of those involved in communication and exploitation of European-funded projects.
The content of the course is developed to assist participants in planning successful communication and dissemination campaigns with increased impact; it also aims to help participants become more familiar with the operational tools and the best engagement practices for a strong presence in social media and to provide them with all necessary skills for developing successful Dissemination, Communication & Exploitation Plans (DCEP) for their projects as requested by the European Commission (EC). At the end of the course, participants will have the opportunity to practice their skills in 2 hands-on workshops and ask questions, while the session will also offer valuable insights into how proposals are evaluated by the EC.
Participants of the training will learn:
The communication obligations and all Contractual requirements of EU funded projects
How to best raise awareness for research activities and outcomes

The diverse range of topics and depth with which they were explored have expended my HORIZON and improved my understanding and abilities in writing future project proposals.
My experience with the course was outstanding. The course was well-organized and clear, making it easy to understand even the more complex concepts. Our instructor was highly knowledgeable and always available to answer questions, enhancing the quality of our learning. She made sure we understood the material and was committed to our professional growth.
It was a great experience in all respects. We have acquired a lot of new knowledge that will be very useful both in our daily work and activities, as well as in our projects and our broader evolution as professionals. I would definitely recommend it.

The course on Financial administration and auditing preparation for E.C. funded projects was enlightening and helped me to get a better understanding of the subject. The interaction we had both with the other participants and the trainers was very interesting and contributed to the better consolidation of the knowledge we have gained.
