Dissemination & Science Communication
Structured dissemination planning aligned with grant requirements, TRL/ARL progression, and development milestones — part of your funding proposal strategy from call selection through evaluation and execution.
Why
Dissemination & Science Communication Matters in EU and Dutch Funding
In European and Dutch non-dilutive funding programmes, dissemination and science communication are mandatory and evaluated components of funding proposals.
Funders evaluate not only scientific quality, but also how research outputs will be shared, validated, and translated into societal, clinical, and economic impact.
Dissemination planning is therefore not limited to post-award activities. Well-designed communication and impact strategies are expected already at the proposal stage and contribute directly to evaluation scores.
A strong dissemination framework supports:
• Higher evaluation scores and stronger impact narratives
• Clear stakeholder engagement strategies
• Alignment with work package deliverables
• Reduced reporting and audit risk
• Improved project visibility and long-term uptake
For early-stage and scale-up teams, dissemination is a strategic element of funding success — not an administrative requirement.
How Dissemination is Integrated into your R&D Strategy
Effective dissemination must reflect your project’s scientific maturity, development trajectory, and regulatory pathway.
We integrate dissemination planning with:
• Technology and application readiness levels (TRL/ARL)
• Preclinical and clinical validation milestones
• Regulatory and compliance requirements
• Consortium governance structures
• Intellectual property and publication strategy
Outcome:
This ensures that communication activities reinforce scientific progress and support funders expectations throughout the project lifecycle.
Connection to other Funding Services
Our dissemination and science communication support is closely integrated with our broader funding and development services:
• Funding Assessment & Strategy
• EU & Dutch Funding Programmes
• Grant Writing & Non-Dilutive Funding
• Grant Management & Coordination
This ensures consistency between scientific objectives, funding strategy, proposal narratives, and communication obligations.
What We Do
Our Dissemination & Science Communication Support
We provide structured, grant-aligned dissemination and communication support including:
• Development of dissemination and communication plans
• Definition of target audiences and stakeholder groups
• Scientific publication and conference strategy
• Open-access and data-sharing alignment
• Stakeholder engagement and outreach planning
• Alignment with EU and Dutch reporting requirements
• Impact monitoring and dissemination metrics
• Support for public engagement activities
Our approach focuses on substance, credibility, and regulatory alignment – not promotional marketing.
Role in the Grant Lifecycle
Dissemination planning is embedded in the full funding and development process.
It informs:
• Proposal positioning and impact sections
• Work package design and dissemination deliverables
• Resource allocation and budgeting
• Consortium communication workflows
• Post-award reporting and audit preparation
By integrating dissemination early, we help teams avoid late-stage redesigns, compliance issues, and misaligned communication strategies.
This results in stronger submissions, improved success probability, and smoother project execution.
Services we provide
Public Engagement
We translate scientific results into accessible, evidence-based content for non-academic audiences.
Our work ensures that complex findings are communicated clearly, responsibly, and without loss of scientific integrity.
Outcome:
Your research becomes understandable and relevant to a broader public audience.
Stakeholder Outreach
Public & Stakeholder Communication
We support targeted communication towards:
• Policymakers, practitioners, and regulatory stakeholders.
• Industry partners and innovation ecosystems
• Civil society and community stakeholders
We prepare:
• Policy briefs and factsheets
• Outreach materials
• Workshops and event support
• Stakeholder engagement strategies.
Outcome: Your outputs connect with the people who influence adoption, policy, and investment.
Digital Content Creation
Strategic Content & Visibility
We develop and align project materials with dissemination plans and funder requirements, ensuring that outputs are documented and accessible for review:
This includes structured, goal-oriented content suitable for:
• Websites
• Social media
• Newsletters
• Campaigns associated with project milestones
Outcome: Your project maintains a clear record of dissemination activity.
Scientific Communication
We support communication within the scientific community through:
• Preparation of conferences abstracts, talks, posters
• Guidance on publication planning and open-access strategies
• Workshops facilitation
• Presentations of results
Our focus is on clarity, positioning, and alignment with the broader project narrative.
Outcome: Your findings are communicated effectively within the scientific ecosystem.
Monitoring & Reporting
We assist projects in establishing and tracking dissemination indicators, and in preparing documentation for reporting and review.
Our work includes:
• Definition of dissemination and KPIs
• Tracking outputs, reach, and engagement
• Contributions to periodic and final reports
• Preparation of supporting documentation for audits and evaluations
Outcome: Your dissemination activities are transparent, measurable, and documented in accordance with funder expectations.
When This Support is Most Relevant
Our dissemination and science communication services are particularly relevant when:
• Preparing EU or national funding proposals
• Structuring multi-partner research consortia
• Developing impact and exploitation strategies
• Entering regulatory or clinical development phases
• Scaling research programmes toward commercialisation
• Managing complex reporting and stakeholder environments
