Abstract

This policy brief, developed within the scope of the EPIBOOST project, examines key challenges in communication, dissemination, and exploitation practices in Horizon Europe Twinning actions. Drawing on evidence collected from 16 sister Twinning projects, it identifies gaps in reporting frameworks, audience categorization, KPI monitoring, and exploitation pathways for non-commercial outputs. The brief provides targeted recommendations for EU funding agencies and the Research Executive Agency (REA) to improve guidance, reporting efficiency, and impact assessment. Its recommendations aim to strengthen Widening excellence, talent retention, institutional capacity-building, and Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) outreach across the European Research Area.
