Round 2 | Help us understand DIGITAL-funded project dissemination and exploitation activities and challenges

Breadcrumb

Home

This questionnaire targets all projects funded under the Digital Europe (DIGITAL) Programme. Building on the first questionnaire we shared last year, we are now launching a second round of feedback to further gather insights on project dissemination and exploitation (D&E) practices and challenges.

The responses collected will help strengthen the foundation of DEDEP.eu’s work and inform the development of future support initiatives for DIGITAL projects.

Completing the questionnaire takes approximately 10 minutes. As a token of appreciation, participating projects will also have the opportunity to be featured in the DEDEP.eu catalogue of project inspiring stories and gain visibility through DEDEP.eu’s communication channels and social media platforms.

We encourage all DIGITAL Programme funded projects to take part in this second round and submit their responses by 17:00 CET, 22nd April.

All information gathered will be treated as confidential and will only be used for the objectives of the DEDEP.eu project.
