Executive Summary
The document describes dissemination and communication activities within the Work
Package 6 implemented by the Project beneficiaries for the 1st twelve months of the
eINTERASIA project on ICT Transfer Concept for Adaptation, Dissemination and Local
Exploitation of European Research Results in Central Asia’s Countries.
The report incorporates description of the contribution of the consortium to the promotion
and dissemination of eINTERASIA objectives and results. The report highlights the EU
research results that have already been demonstrated and those proposed for adaptation,
dissemination and local exploitation. Generally the report provides the account of the
dissemination means, items and tools utilized, as well as the target audiences involved.
The target audiences, the concept of tools, and the kind of content are defined by the primary
content of the eINTERASIA Project and the nature of its products. It is expected that these
products will be greatly demanded in the Central Asian (CA) region.
Deliverable D6.6.6 includes the brief description of partner workshops, dissemination items,
means and tools.
Dissemination means/ tools incorporate:
- Project web site
- Project flyer and poster (RollUp)
- The database of potential and users
- Promotion at the international conferences/ exhibitions-setting up of showrooms
The database incorporates entries which represent Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan,
Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. All those entries will be contacted by email describing the
benefits of the project for them.
The data base has a clear structure: each entry contains the
company/organization/institution name, description of its primary activity, address,
telephone numbers, website, and emails.
The database contains entries for the following target groups:
Research centers / institutes and universities- 390
IT transfer parks, incubators, centres -27
ICT service providers, IT companies-48
Transport, freight forwarders and logistics associations-152
Big consulting companies (specializing in management consulting, certification and
quality standards, and engineering consulting)-95
Organizations form EU- 48
And other potential end users-35
At present the database incorporates representatives of target groups primarily from
Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan and organizations from EU countries..
At the next stage this database will be completed by inclusion of target companies from
Kyrgyzstan. At the end of February DB incorporates 795 organizations: The following information has been distributed among potential end users in February 2014:
a) for Central Asian partners:
- project flyer (in Russian)
- description of eLOGMAR project in e-Logistics (in Russian)
- description of SIGNA project (in Russian)
- project Newsletter, vol.1 (in English)
b) for EU partners similar information was disseminated in English.
Next time the questionnaire developed by BISAM will also be emailed across the database
entries. Based on the feedback from contacted beneficiaries, the offered products will be
promoted further.
3.2.6. Promotion at the international conferences and exhibitions
a) VIth Astana Economic Forum – May 22th-24th 2013
The Astana Economic Forum (AEF) is an international and regional platform for dialogue and

Eurasian Economic Club of Scientists Association and the Government of Kazakhstan.
As a platform for discussion, the AEF provides the opportunity for international exchange and
resolutions for present-day economic as well as financial and social challenges in the world.
During the forum, the EU-funded project eINTERASIA was presented to a wide spread of
potential end users, e.g. industry and policy makers and research facilities as well as
government officials.
