Communication Strategy for Research Projects
If you apply for project funding from the Research Council (RCN), EU or other financing agencies, the application must often include a communication strategy. The communication department can help you to ensure the quality of the communication strategy.
Please be aware that very specific requirements for communication and dissemination are often set forth in externally funded projects. Read the calls for proposals and program documents carefully. When evaluating project applications, both the Research Council and EU place great emphasis on plans for communicating the results, and the impact the project will have on research and society.
