Many projects under the DIGITAL EUROPE Programme develop groundbreaking digital solutions, yet their visibility, adoption, and long-term impact often remain limited due to fragmented dissemination efforts and siloed approaches. 

 

To address this challenge, DEDEP.eu is launching a series of pilot actions aimed at equipping both DIGITAL officers and beneficiaries with the necessary tools, strategies, and collaborative frameworks to enhance their dissemination and exploitation (D&E) capabilities. 

This highly interactive webinar, scheduled for 12 March 2025 at 15:00 CET, will introduce the upcoming pilot actions that will be launched in spring 2025

 

The webinar offers participants an overview of their objectives, methodology, and expected impact. The session will also feature inspiring project clustering examples, illustrating how DIGITAL projects can better exchange knowledge, break down siloes across Specific Objectives, and optimise D&E efforts. These pilot actions will provide hands-on guidance, tools, and support to enhance the outreach, collaboration, and commercialisation of DIGITAL-funded results.

 

This event will showcase how strategic collaborations and tailored capacity-building initiatives can drive the uptake and sustainability of DIGITAL-funded innovations.

Target Audience

This event is designed for:

  • DIGITAL Programme beneficiaries (project coordinators, dissemination managers, exploitation leads) looking to enhance their D&E strategies.
  • DIGITAL officers and policymakers involved in monitoring and supporting DIGITAL-funded projects.
  • Implementing bodies such as DG CONNECT, CHIPS JU, HaDEA, and others involved in shaping and executing the programme's D&E framework.
  • Stakeholders interested in maximising the uptake of digital innovations, including SMEs, research organisations, and industry players seeking more structured collaboration opportunities.

 

Key Takeaways

  • Discover how DEDEP.eu’s pilot actions can support your project in achieving greater outreach, impact, and sustainability.
  • Learn from real-world examples of DIGITAL projects that have successfully leveraged D&E strategies to boost visibility and adoption.
  • Understand the benefits of project clustering and cross-sector collaboration in enhancing the effectiveness of dissemination efforts.
  • Find out how to participate in the pilot actions and receive tailored support for optimising your project’s exploitation potential.

 

This webinar will not only provide practical guidance on improving project-level D&E strategies but also set the stage for a more integrated, programme-wide approach to dissemination and exploitation. Join us on 12 March and be part of the change in the DIGITAL programme!
