Communication action plan: CHANCE project deliverable D6.2

This report describes the Communication Action Plan which has been developed and used for the CHANCE project. As a reminder, the description of Work Package 6 is given here: WP6 - Dissemination and training activities [Months: 1-58] SCK•CEN, ANDRA, ENEA, JUELICH, INCT Task 6.1: : Communication and dissemination Start date : 1 ; End date: 48 Task Leader: SCK•CEN ; Contributors: Andra, INCT. Given the difference in scope and objectives of these work packages, it will be of high value to come up with a cohesive, consistent and concise communication strategy that highlights both the methodological, technical and scientific achievements made within the project. More specifically, a dissemination and communication action plan will be developed to identify the key messages to be delivered, the target audiences to be addressed, the method to address them, and the timing of dissemination (D6.2). A first version of this document will be available in its first version at month 6. It will be updated after each periodic report, at month 20 and 38, and will be submitted as a deliverable (D6.2) at month 58. This action plan might be revised or amended according to outcome of the study undertaken in WP6.3. As a communication tool with the broader community, a public website (D6.1) will be constructed and maintained for disseminating project objectives, major results and achievements, trainings and workshops. The website will also contain an intranet (secure) site which will serve as a knowledge portal where project partners can upload and review documents. The establishment of this intranet and extranet will be achieved at the onset of the project, and adequate resources will be foreseen for proper maintenance. Apart from this website, also other communication tools will be developed which help in the raising of awareness concerning the project, its goals and
results. These tools will include flyers, posters or presentations which may be used stand-alone or by the different project partners upon participation to national and international events (conferences, workshops, etc.) related to radioactive waste management. Special attention will be taken to develop dedicated communication material for member states with less advanced programs (LAPs).Thus, the Communication Action Plan is a document which is subject to continuous updates throughout the course of the project, allowing new developments and special actions emerging from other WP tasks to be taken up on an ad hoc basis.
