WG4 Outreach and dissemination of end-user tools, materials and products
Aims
To ensure maximal utilisation of the products and knowledge within the Action and among ParaAqua and their various partners, the products of ParAqua need to be co-created with external stakeholders and their dissemination tailored to various audiences. In close collaboration with the leaders of WG1, 2 and 3, as well as with the Science Communication Coordinator, WG4 will be responsible for the dissemination of the Action’s outcomes and results with the aim to maximize the knowledge transfer between academic scientists, industry RD&I, water managers and the general public, as well as monitoring the impact of the Action on science and society.
Furthermore, WG4 will collaborate with Local Organizers of ParAqua meetings in designing and implementing future-proof meetings and to maximise dissemination of knowledge in the hosting country. WG4 will also collaborate with the WG1-3 and facilitate the organization and outreach of the different Training Schools and the Short-Term Scientific Missions.
