DISSEMINATION OF RESULTS Main aim: To build capacities for continuous dissemination

of information about EU public policies The process takes place at all levels and at all stages of the

project’s life Once the process is set in motion, it should have a snowball

effect. As new contacts are made, the opportunities and means of spreading the word about a project’s results increase, reaching an ever-widening audience

It is crucial to have all partners of the project involved in the process; each having a unique contribution to make, specific skills and knowledge to draw on, and a new set of people to interact with to further the process. 

PLAN FOR DISSEMINATION

1. Developed web site of the project

2. Brochures prepared semi-annually with nutshell information on specific EU public policies  

3. Visibility of the project activities

4. Dissemination of the information to the teaching and administrative staff at the partner universities 

5. Dissemination of final project results

1. PROJECT WEBSITE

The internet has become the dissemination tool of choice for millions of organisations and individuals. 

Websites are powerful tools for reaching target audience and promoting project.

Primary use: to provide information about the project and news of its activities and results.

CHALENGE With billions of web pages floating around in

cyberspace, one of the main challenges for websites is ensuring that it is visited by the target audience.

Websites are useful dissemination tools, but it is not just enough simply to put them on-line, but they also need to be actively promoted and publicised.

Mutual linking with websites in complementary fields, promoting the site in the blogosphere are two ways of getting noticed.

Priming the website to make it more visible to search engines is also useful.

2. BROCHURES Every six months centres prepare brochures with

information on the latest or the most important EU legislation and policy measures, particularly those that have strongest effect on the WB region.

Dissemination of such publication is important because it can demonstrate existing expertise and attract interested clients.

Furthermore, the planned brochures are much more than advertisement for the project. They are valuable sources of information for those who understand the importance of the EU public policies.

TO BE PRODUCED IN A TIMELESS FASHION

Brochures promote the activities or outputs of the project

Target groups need to understand exactly how these results meet their needs and how they can be transferred to their situation.

The diffusion to all levels is especially important 

DIFUSSION Regularly reach target audience to provide them

with print publications or inform them about website updates.

Mailing list – containing a list of recipients who are interested in the project, such as policy-makers, civil society organisations, civil servants, entrepreneurs

Despite their obvious strengths, in the age of information overload and spam, mailing lists may not perform efficiently if they are not carefully targeted and offer recipients the option to subscribe and unsubscribe whenever they wish

CONSIDERING OTHER PUBLICATIONS Newsletters could be released periodically and

distributed via a mailing list to inform the target audience about the latest developments in the project.

Press releases to the media and other stakeholders to flag a forthcoming event or to draw attention to a newsworthy recent development

Producing articles for the local, regional, national or even international press, or rather assist the journalist writing the piece. Alternatively, someone in the project, as an expert, may write the article.

3. PRESS CONFERENCES(use the help of NTO)

PC1 is organized for presentation of the project goals and the website (UB)

PC2 organized for presentation of brochures and project centres (5 partners)

PC3 for presentation of the new brochures and announcement of the enrolment possibility for trainings on EU public policies (5 partners)

PC4 for presentation of all project deliverables (5 partners)

5. REGIONAL CONFERENCE

Organized and hosted by the University of Sarajevo for presenting all the project results to the wider public and for promotion of the available training services related to the better understanding of EU public policies
