Deliverable 8.1: Strategy and plan for communication, dissemination and exploitation of results

RadoNorm project is focused around improving radiation risk knowledge and management for radon and NORM. Assessment of radon and NORM exposure situations, radon and NORM dosimetry, effects and risks from exposures due to radon and NORM, mitigation of radon and NORM exposure situations, societal aspects of radiation protection with regard to radon and NORM exposures will be addressed in the scientific and technological development WP 2 to 6, respectively. The cross-cutting topics of education and training, dissemination, communication and exploitation of results and ethics will be addressed in WP 7 to 9 respectively. The management of RadoNorm will be the responsibility of Work Package 1.
WP8 will be cross cutting to all other WPs and will enable communication, dissemination and exploitation of the RadoNorm results in the most effective way with the highest impact throughout the project lifetime, and also beyond. To achieve best results the WP leaders will be involved in WP8 and will contribute to most of the tasks. Coordination of activities will be ensured, to optimise the resources, to ensure consistency of the dissemination activities and maximise the public outreach.
The present deliverable is the first version of communication, dissemination and exploitation plan of the RadoNorm project and provides basis for both external and internal communication, dissemination activities and approach to the exploitation of results. The overall aim of this document is to identify the most efficient means and set a plan for the implementation of dissemination, exploitation and communication activities. RadoNorm’s outreach activities aim at communicating and disseminating the project results during the project lifetime and increase the impact after the end of the project.
