In PICO, Trust-IT is responsible for implementing the awareness campaign, coordinating the organisation of several face-to-face and online activities, both at national and international levels. All these activities will be scheduled and implemented on the project website, which will be designed by Trust. The website will be the main interface for the organisation of webinars and podcasts, together with the showcase of visual stories of researchers. The most relevant moments and good practices from the European Researchers’ Nights will be collected on the website, which will also provide information on ongoing activities in associated research infrastructures. The main aim is to engage more than 250K citizens through the communication and dissemination activities of PICO.
Additionally, Trust-IT will be responsible for implementing the visual identity of PICO, with the design of the project logo and the online and offline communication tools to ensure effective communication and dissemination actions.
PICO aims at reducing the gap between research and society/education by bringing together major European research institutions in the fields of frontier Physics and Science Education, as well as partners with high expertise in communication, media and marketing.
For reaching this goal, PICO will:
The implementation and design of an awareness campaign requires analytical skills and an innovative approach for planning an effective communication and engagement strategy.
