Description
This grant funds innovative communication and dissemination projects that aim to increase public understanding and facilitate the use of research-based knowledge in the areas of climate, environment, circular economy, polar, and ocean research. Projects must target clearly defined groups, demonstrate a robust plan for outreach and impact, and involve both communication and research experts, with communication professionals taking a central role. The call encourages unique, non-routine dissemination initiatives that cannot be accomplished through ordinary communication activities. Projects may involve partners or stakeholders, but collaboration is not mandatory.
