D6.7 SECOND ANNUAL REPORT ON DISSEMINATION, EXPLOITATION AND COMMUNICATION ACTIVITIES

This deliverable provides a detailed report on the progress towards the implementation of the dissemination, exploitation and communication strategy, designed and defined in the first year of the EcoPlastiC project. General framework for implementation of these activities was previously described in the deliverable D6.1 Dissemination, Exploitation and Communication (DEC) Plan (M6) and was updated in the deliverable D6.3 First annual report on dissemination, exploitation and communication activities (M12). The report D6.7 gives overview of the key dissemination and communication activities during the second year of the EcoPlastiC project (1 October 2023 – 30 September 2024) and focuses on the main key performance indicators defined in the DEC plan. It summaries the main activities of all partners, including development of new dissemination materials, presence at industry events, conferences and symposia, project advertisement in the media, published results from the project, visits to schools and project promotion to the public, as well as a successful EcoPlastiC newsletter campaign. Each activity has been put against initial targets and indicators in the Table 13 in Chapter 4 to measure success of the actions taken so far (M24 of EcoPlastiC project). Our exploitation progress has been updated by all EcoPlastiC partners and is presented in the Annex I (Tables 15-18). In the second year of the EcoPlastiC project, which surpassed the successes of the first year, we significantly advanced our efforts to engage stakeholders and expand the project’s reach to a broader audience. Building on the foundation established in the first year, we not only strengthened awareness of the project’s objectives and activities, but also enhanced the visibility for our project team and partners. As a result, the majority of the activities outlined in the DEC plan have been successfully executed.
