The GRAPHIA Dissemination, Exploitation and Communication Plan (DEC) outlines the strategic framework for how the project communicates its objectives, engages stakeholders and ensures the long-term uptake and impact of its results. Developed under Work Package (WP) 6, its first version was published in June 2025 as a plan that guides the activities of all project partners involved in raising awareness, fostering collaboration, and enabling exploitation of GRAPHIA’s outputs. This, month (M) 18, version is the first update. GRAPHIA is a Horizon Europe project aiming at enhancing research infrastructure for the Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) through the development of a knowledge graph, artificial intelligence (AI) services, and next-generation research instrumentation. The DEC Plan aligns communication, dissemination, and exploitation activities with this mission, ensuring that outputs are findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable (FAIR), and sustainable beyond the project duration. The plan identifies and engages three primary stakeholder groups: academia and scholarly communication actors, industry, and public-sector organisations. Dissemination efforts are driven by a central website, complemented by Zenodo and Zotero repositories, publications, blog posts, events, and cross-project collaborations. Communication activities leverage social media (primarily LinkedIn and Bluesky), newsletters, and targeted messaging to promote GRAPHIA’s innovations. Exploitation is structured around the Key Exploitable Results (KERs), including the SSH Knowledge Graph, large language models for social sciences and humanities (LLM4SSH), advanced instrumentation prototypes, an SSH citations index, an interoperability framework, and real-world use cases. Each KER is accompanied by tailored exploitation paths, licensing strategies (primarily open-source), and integration plans with infrastructures, i.e. European Open Science Cloud (EOSC), SSH Open Marketplace (SSHOC) and others. The plan also details mechanisms for sustainability, including governance models, open repositories, and institutional commitments to hosting and curating outputs. Innovation Prototyping Labs (IPLs) serve as key engagement points for stakeholder validation and feedback, linking exploitation strategy with community needs. This report is complemented by deliverable 6.1 Communication Kit developed separately that provides an overview of items available to all project partners for download. This deliverable 6.2 is a living document that will be updated during project implementation and tailored to the project’s needs and progress on demand (at M18 with this current version, and at M36). All the data related to key performance indicators (KPIs) numbers achieved by M18 and presented in the related deliverable 6.2 update was recorded on 16th June 2026. Funded by the European Union.
