Dissemination and Exploitation (D&E) in H2020
Coordinators’ Day on Grant Agreement Preparation , 19 September 2019
Ioannis SAGIAS
Common Implementation Center, DG RTD B.6
Horizon 2020 Programme increased importance given to D&E
…and we have to ensure it
Improved valueof R&I funding*
More ImpactBetter D&E
H2020 Implementation rules
o Proposal template highlights Dissemination and Exploitation plan as
an admissibility condition and included in the Impact criterion evaluation
o Grant agreement (GA) includes articles 28 on Exploitation and 29 on Dissemination and possibly additional D&E
obligations following the WP
o On July 2018, the R&I family endorsed a revised Strategy for effective dissemination and exploitation of H2020
research results calls for:
o Better use of funded R&I project results to economic and social use
o Making available scientific evidence in support of policy making
What are project results?
*http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/portal/desktop/en/support/reference_terms.html
Results
Any tangible or intangible output of theaction, such as data, knowledge andinformation whatever their form or nature,whether or not they can be protected.*
o Key exploitable results are the outputs generated during theproject which can be used and create impact, either by theproject partners or by other stakeholders
• Project results can be reusable and exploitable (e.g. inventions, prototypes, services) as such, or elements (knowledge, technology, processes, networks) that have potential to contribute for further work on research or innovation

What is communication?
* Shortened from http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/portal/desktop/en/support/reference_terms.html
Is strategically planned with communication objectivesand not only ad-hoc efforts
Demonstrate how EU funding contributes to tacklingsocietal challenges
Reach out to society as a whole
Uses pertinent messages, right medium and means
Communication
Taking strategic and targeted measures for promoting the action itself and its results to a multitude of audiences, including the media and the public, and possibly engaging in a two-way exchange*
What is dissemination?
* http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/portal/desktop/en/support/reference_terms.html
Essential element of all good research practice and vital partof the project plan
Enabling the value of results to be potentially wider than theoriginal focus
Circulation of knowledge and results to the ones that canbest make use of them
Strengthens and promotes the profile of the organisation
Dissemination
Making the results of a project public, not only by scientific publications in any medium*
Communication
What is the difference?
Newsletter
Press release
Project factsheet, brochure
Social media (blogs, Twitter, Facebook,
LinkedIn)
Informing about the project Informing about the results Making results available for re-use
Dissemination
Scientific publications
Policy brief/roadmap
Training/demonstration
Sharing results on online repository(research data, software, reports)
About the projectresults
Multiple audiences
Inform and reach out to society, show the benefits of research
Grant Agreement art. 38.1
About results only
Audiences that may use the results in their own work
Enable use and uptakeof results
Grant Agreement art. 29
Project website, videos, interview, articles in magazines, exhibitions/ open days, guided visits,
conference, presentation and workshops.
What is meant by exploitation?
* http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/portal/desktop/en/support/reference_terms.html
Can be commercial, societal, political, for improving public knowledge and for policy making
Concretise the value and impact of the R&I activity for societal challenges
Make use of results; recognising exploitable results and their stakeholders
Project partners can exploit results themselves, or facilitate exploitation by others (e.g. through making results available under open licenses)
Exploitation
The utilisation of results in developing, creating and marketing a product or process, or in creating and providing a service, or in standardisation activities.*

Why it does not always happen? Lessons learned through H2020
• Perceiving D&E as "tick boxes", not important for the "real work" of the project (research)
• Focusing on implementing VS aligning work with the needs of users and stakeholders
• Lack of skills (or interest) to effectively consider or share the value and possible benefits of the results for wider society
• Lack of knowledge of dissemination and exploitation risks and opportunities (issues, solutions, other projects)
• Not (yet) truly part of the project design
• Often interpreted as an activity after the project lifetime
Why should you do D&E?Lessons learned through H2020
• Improves the quality of your research through feedback
• Attracts new talents to join your team
• Provides further international and interdisciplinary collaboration opportunities
• Improves access to other funding opportunities (notably from private)
• You can contribute to societal goals thereby providing more visibility to the researcher / institution
D&E in Horizon EuropeD&E remains key in FP implementation
• Dissemination is a specific objective for all measures
• D&E in FP
Information, communication, publicity and D&E
Calling for a comprehensive D&E strategy
• FP and SP annexes on D&E
Demonstrate the impact and maximise the European added value of the FP
Dissemination of clusters of mature results to EU regions
Accelerate exploitation towards market uptake
• Delivery mechanism
Contractual obligations of beneficiaries for D&E reporting during and after the project
Encourage the third party exploitation

• Business Case
• Pilot with Research Results beneficiaries
• Developed as part of the F&T Portal
• Vision for Corporate Platform for EC Results; not limited to “Research”
• Pilot - Horizon Results Platform
• Results presented through sales-pitch style abstract, video, PowerPoint presentation(s), other.
• By sector, geography, tagged with keywords.
• External users (MS ministries, universities, EC Institutions, Investors, etc.) will be able to search results and initiate contact
• Follow-up surveys by Commission to find out the outcome of the interaction (to assist impact assessment)
4. Innovation Radar (IR)
A data-driven methodology to deliver intelligence on
The innovations emerging from the projects
The innovators: who and where?
Market readiness?
Structured systematic data without increasing reporting for beneficiaries
Not topic-specific approach
