Powder2Power D6.1: Plan for Exploitation and Dissemination of the project Results

This document, Deliverable D6.1, is a critical component of the POWDER2POWER project, funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101122347. The current version represents the first iteration within the Work Package “Communication, Exploitation, Dissemination”. The primary objective of this document is to outline the dissemination activities undertaken up until month 7 and those planned for the subsequent phases. It also highlights the most promising achievements, exploitable opportunities, and identifies target segments for the POWDER2POWER project along with potential business opportunities for the involved enterprises. The Plan for Exploitation and Dissemination of Results (PEDR) encapsulates the overarching consortium strategy for dissemination, communication, exploitation, and protection of the foreground generated by the project. Functioning as both a strategic blueprint and practical guideline, it offers insights into communication and dissemination activities, their timelines, responsibilities distribution, available tools and channels, and an overview of planned actions to ensure the effective exploitation of results and project impact. Prepared by CSP-Boost (Work Package 6 leader) with inputs from all partners, this document adheres to the provisions outlined in the Grant Agreement (art. 17 and Annex 5), Consortium Agreement (Section 8.4) and the Regulation (EU) 2021/695 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 April 2021 establishing Horizon Europe – the Framework Programme for Research and Innovation, laying down its rules for participation and dissemination, and repealing Regulations (EU) No 1290/2013 and (EU) No 1291/2013 (Art. 39 and 40). As per these regulations, all consortium members are obligated to participate and contribute to the communication and dissemination activities of the project results. Importantly, the PEDR is a dynamic document that will undergo updates throughout the project lifecycle, specifically at the mid-term (month 24) and towards the project's conclusion (month 48). It will be made publicly accessible through the POWDER2POWER project website, serving as a resource for stakeholders interested in understanding project activities, objectives, impacts, and promoting efficient exploitation of project results and outputs.
