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
