Maximising Research Impact: September 2024 Online Training for EU-Funded Projects

This session of our Impact of EC Funded Research training course was delivered online via Zoom on September 23-24, 2024. This 1.5-day course is tailored to help participants strengthen the “Impact” section of Horizon Europe proposals and equip them with strategies to enhance the visibility and reach of their projects.

Led by an experienced former EC proposal evaluator, the course provided an in-depth look into designing effective Communication, Dissemination, and Exploitation Plans (DCEP) that meet the European Commission’s standards. The session covered essential topics, such as understanding EC communication obligations, building targeted outreach strategies, and utilizing digital tools and social media effectively.

Key Topics and Workshop Highlights

A primary focus of the course was on creating audience-specific communication strategies. Participants explored questions such as, “What methods best engage different audience segments?” and “How can social media be effectively leveraged for research dissemination?” Practical workshops allowed attendees to draft tailored communication strategies and refine their DCEP plans to align with EC requirements.

The course also delved into Open Access and Data Management. Attendees learned how to navigate open-access obligations while balancing the need to protect sensitive information. A hands-on exercise on data-sharing practices provided participants with actionable steps to ensure compliance with Horizon Europe’s data management guidelines.

Participants left with a clear understanding of how to craft a compelling Impact section, along with practical tools to maximize the reach of their research projects and effectively communicate outcomes to a broad audience.
