[Qrowd] comments to section 2.2

[Elena Simperl]

Hey everyone,

at 
https://grips.semantic-web.at/download/attachments/51809713/QROWD_2.2_AZ.docx 
you will find the current version of Section 2.2. It includes text from 
the old proposal which will need to be updated.

It appears that there is no part about dissemination in the document at 
the moment. Note that in H2020 there is a distinction between 
dissemination and communication. Communication means general PR, whereas 
dissemination is focused on specific measures and target groups. The 
guidelines recommend the following:

"Provide a draft ‘plan for the dissemination and exploitation of the 
project's results’ (unless the work programme topic explicitly states 
that such a plan is not required). For innovation actions describe a 
credible path to deliver the innovations to the market. The plan, which 
should be proportionate to the scale of the project, should contain 
measures to be implemented both during and after the project.

Dissemination and exploitation measures should address the full range of 
potential users and uses including research, commercial, investment, 
social, environmental, policy making, setting standards, skills and 
educational training. The approach to innovation should be as 
comprehensive as possible, and must be tailored to the specific 
technical, market and organisational issues to be addressed.

Explain how the proposed measures will help to achieve the expected 
impact of the project. Include a business plan where relevant."

For dissemination, this means that we need a plan of targeted activities 
for the relevant audiences. In the communications part we describe the 
Web site, social media channels, general marketing. Below the official 
guidelines

"Describe the proposed communication measures for promoting the project 
and its findings during the period of the grant. Measures should be 
proportionate to the scale of the project, with clear objectives. They 
should be tailored to the needs of various audiences, including groups 
beyond the project's own community. Where relevant, include measures for 
public/societal engagement on issues related to the project."

@Amrapali, Jens, could you please provide a revised version of the 
dissemination plan and of the communication section.

Now to exploitation, which is due next Friday. We can start with the 
current text, but update it to the business cases. However, we need a 
more detailed version of the business plans of all industrial partners.

I hope these notes are useful for everyone involved in writing Section 2.2

Elena
