Working Group
WG 4
Network development, sustainability and dissemination of network results
Description
The main aim of this WG is to establish internal communication (contact and mailing lists, reporting and planning schedules) of all network activities, continuous screening of all minutes / reports for ad-hoc and strategic dissemination and exploitation. Also, to create and provide promotion material and dissemination channels, to be used by all network members on the occasion of their own conference visits, projects, teaching, including a yearly public newsletter.
The strategy will be focused on exploring requirements and opportunities for perpetuating the network partly or as a whole (e.g. collaboration and connection with universities, other networks or societies, business), including sustainability strategy and action planning, stakeholder analysis and balanced scorecard.
