“So much research, but what about the dissemination?”

Committee panel25 October 2011

Dissemination strategy

• Dissemination needs to be:– planned from the beginning– aligned with funder requirements– conducted throughout the research cycle– include suitable types/genres of research– target the intended beneficiaries of research– curated more deliberately and accessibly
