This WG is dedicated to the successful communication and dissemination of the findings of the other WGs by promoting an effective transfer of existing knowledge and practices and facilitate a better communication among research-policy-public sectors which is a core objective of SMILES Action.
The aim of this WG is to ensure that all the deliverables and project outputs produced in WGs 1-5 are relevant for the stakeholders involved in this project and beyond, through continuous participation in project activities.
Specific attention will be paid
- (1) to develop a tailored communication strategy which will fit to the target groups (scientific community, policy makers and different stakeholders and general public),
- (2) to fill in the communication gaps among target groups by promoting a common “language” (by promoting and translating the incorporating vocabulary on ES developed in WG 6 in at least 6 EU languages; and
- (3) enhance and increase accessibility to the scientific knowledge related to natural capital and management in small-medium islands by developing and implementing a research strategy.
The final conference will engage different stakeholders by providing a suitable venue for scientific presentations, but also forums and artistic expressions (see description of the plan in 3.2.2).
