Communication, dissemination, and exploitation activities are essential elements of any EU Research project. From proposal to project delivery, a clear link between these aspects must be articulated to ensure the project and its results create long-lasting impact. The Booster provides support to EU-funded projects to valorise their results and reach target stakeholders effectively. Trust-IT delivers core Booster services focused on improving how projects address and plan dissemination strategies, making results more visible and impactful.
Dissemination Support – Enhancing the impact of your research
This core service is tailored to support the promotion of your project's results (including policy-related ones) to the right audiences. Together with experienced mentors, you assess and refine your dissemination strategies, identify key assets and stakeholders, and select the most effective channels to achieve visibility and uptake. The activities include assessing the current dissemination plan; define improvements based on the project objectives; support in identifying the appropriate target audiences and engagement channels; advise on optimal dissemination methods.
The process begins with a goal-setting alignment call and concludes with a final report summarising activities, recommendations, stakeholder analysis, and dissemination readiness.
Add-On Services – Extended support for greater reach and synergy
n addition to the core dissemination support, projects may be recommended to access Add-On services to further enhance their visibility, impact, and long-term value.
The 3.1 Networking support service helps projects engage more effectively with external stakeholders. With guidance from Booster experts, projects define clear networking goals, identify relevant communities and opportunities, and build meaningful connections with key organisations through targeted outreach and engagement activities.
The 3.2 Portfolio Analysis service focuses on bringing together related projects to form strategic clusters. By identifying common goals and encouraging collaboration, this service promotes knowledge exchange and sustainability beyond the Booster intervention. It supports joint dissemination and exploitation actions through coordinated meetings, synergies, and clustering efforts at regional, European, and international levels.
Finally, the 3.5 Audio-Visual Support service provides projects with a short, high-quality video that showcases their key messages and results. Designed in line with each project's visual identity, the video is suitable for use across websites, social media, events, and the Horizon Results Platform. Guidance is also provided to ensure the video is shared effectively and reaches its full dissemination potential.
