SYNYO and their contribution to the DECICE Project
SYNYO GmbH is part of the DECICE consortium consisting of 13 partners. Because of their broad experience in the Dissemination, Communication and Exploitation (DEC) field, SYNYO was chosen to be responsible for the most of the tasks in WP6 “Dissemination and Communication”. Besides of the work provided by SYNYO, GWDG will focus on the exploitation.
Borders between communication and dissemination are not always clear, but rather fluid. In general, communication addresses a larger audience with giving more general information about the project itself, while dissemination addresses rather specific target groups which might also have a vivid interest in knowing more not only about the project in general but also about its results. With the planned communication and dissemination activities, the following goals are being targeted:
- Raising awareness and promoting the DECICE project: Delivering general information about content and scope of the project as well as its results to everybody who might be interested, using appropriate channels, is the basis of all communication activities.
- Disseminating the solutions of the DECICE project and their importance for the IT domain.
- Reaching out to specific audiences and stakeholders in order to tailor the various outcomes to the end users’ needs from the beginning.
- Fostering further collaborations and enlarging the network by conducting and attending events, workshops, social media interactions etc. and trying to find other EU funded projects, organizations or companies to collaborate with the DECICE project.
Objectives in the DECICE Project:
- Enhance the impact of the project in the long-term through strategic planning of the dissemination, communication and stakeholder engagement activities.
- Develop the exploitation and sustainability strategy for DECICE, including individual exploitation plans, and a roadmap to take the developed AI techniques and models to the market.
- Develop and implement a business plan to commercialize the project results within 2 years after the end of the project.
- Identify stakeholder groups and their dissemination needs; describe and deploy communication instruments, media and channels; liaise with other ongoing initiatives at international level and other EU projects in order to realize synergies and to widely exploit outcomes, findings and lessons learned.
