How to communicate EU project goals and updates effectively 😎

#Canada 🇨🇦 is joining Horizon Europe programme. Horizon Europe is the EU's key funding programme for research and innovation with a budget of €93.5 billion for 2021-27. It tackles climate change, helps to achieve the UN's Sustainable Development Goals and boosts the EU's competitiveness and growth. Pillar II is the largest collaborative part of the programme with a budget of €52.4 billion that is focused on shared global challenges: climate, energy, digital economy and health. #research #innovation #Europe #EU

Theme I for CJMC International Conference 2025 We are delighted to announce the first theme of the upcoming CJMC International Conference 2025, "Strategic and Indigenous Communication for Development". This theme will explore various aspects of development communication, emphasising integrating indigenous knowledge to support sustainable development goals, with presenters and eminent speakers contributing further insights through in-depth discussions. The sub-themes under this theme include: (i) Channelling indigenous knowledge for sustainable development (ii) Progression of development communication theories in the last three decades (iii) Ground-breaking ICT solutions for sustainable development (iv) Exploration of community communication methods and their impact on climate adaptation communication (v) Tagore’s Communication Strategies for Sustainable Development (vi) Creation and implementation of experimental studies in development communication Further details of the rest of the themes will be provided soon.

📢 New article on the web by our colleague Africa Pardavila Morris! "Measuring the Impact: Effective Strategies for Evaluating EU Project Communication in Horizon Europe" 🔎 Whether it’s sharing research findings, engaging with the public, or promoting project outcomes, #Communication plays a vital role in an #EUproject. However, it’s not enough to just communicate; it’s equally important to measure the #Impact of these communication efforts. Read the full article👉 https://bit.ly/4bs68ZX

🌍 The European Commission has warmly welcomed the provisional political agreement on the Net-Zero Industry Act (NZIA), reached between the European Parliament and the Council. This landmark accord marks a pivotal moment in the EU's journey towards climate neutrality by 2050 and underscores our commitment to becoming a global leader in clean technologies. The NZIA will play a crucial role in enhancing the competitiveness and resilience of the European industry, while also fostering the creation of green, quality jobs. 🔋 Empowering the Clean Energy Transition The Act establishes a bold target for the EU to cover at least 40% of its expected demand for net-zero technologies by 2030 through domestic manufacturing. It aims to create a favorable regulatory environment to attract investments in technologies and projects critical for decarbonization, notably in solar PV, wind energy, batteries, and sustainable alternative fuels, among others. 🏭 Strategic Projects and Investment Acceleration The agreement also introduces innovative measures to boost net-zero manufacturing investments and projects: Simplified regulatory environment and faster permitting processes for net-zero technologies. Introduction of Net-Zero Acceleration Valleys to facilitate clusters of net-zero industrial activity. A strategic objective to achieve 50 million tonnes of CO2 injection capacity in the EU by 2030 for CO2 storage. Enhanced market access for net-zero products, with sustainability and resilience criteria for public procurement and renewable energy auctions. 📚 Fostering Skills, Innovation, and Collaboration The Act envisions the establishment of Net-Zero Industry Academies to support workforce upskilling and mobility within the EU. It encourages industry investment in education and training and sets the stage for regulatory sandboxes to test innovative net-zero technologies. 🤝 Net-Zero Europe Platform: A Hub for Coordination and Investment A central Net-Zero Europe Platform will be created to serve as a coordination hub, fostering information exchange and supporting investment initiatives across the EU. 🚀 Next Steps Following political agreement reached, formal approval by the European Parliament and the Council is awaited. Once adopted, the NZIA will enter into force the day after its publication in the Official Journal of the EU, marking a new era of sustainable industrial development. #NetZeroIndustryAct #EU #ClimateNeutrality #CleanTech #SustainableEurope #GreenDeal #europeancommission #europeancouncil #europeanparliament https://lnkd.in/dQPsSYxw

🎉 This year, we conclude twelve successful years of the CRC “#MAKI – Multi-Mechanisms Adaptation for the Future Internet”! 🎬 Watch the video to find out: What did the Collaborative Research Center 1053, funded by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - German Research Foundation, achieve? 📡 How does the basic research on #adaptivity in networks and #transitions between different communication mechanisms influence how we use communication technologies today? https://lnkd.in/eC2tz8Cp

In Horizon Europe projects, understanding the difference between communication and dissemination is key to maximizing impact.  While communication focuses on engaging the public and raising awareness through storytelling and accessible narratives, dissemination targets professionals, sharing detailed knowledge, data, and research findings to promote further innovation.   Both are vital, but their audiences and purposes differ.  Communication runs throughout the project, keeping the public informed, while dissemination often continues after the project ends, ensuring that knowledge is shared for future advancements.   The visual below - by NETO Innovation - highlights these distinctions clearly. #HorizonEurope #Dissemination #Communication #NETOInnovation
