The prime objective for
Dissemination and
Exploitation of Results Multilateral Projects is to help
create a framework for the effective exploitation of the results of
the Lifelong Learning Programme and previous related programmes at
sectoral, regional, national and European levels.Within the
priorities announced in the general call for proposals, priority
will therefore be given to activities for :
- the development of a suitable framework (analysis,
mechanisms, methodologies and practical tools) to facilitate the
exploitation of project and programme results;
- cross-programme actions promoting the exploitation of
results at European level (by sector, theme, user group…);
- the promotion of ’exploitation’ activities by
regional/European/sectoral
networks with the aim in particular
of promoting a virtuous circle between policy development and
practical experiences, in support of the
Open Method of
Co-ordination (OMC) under the
Lisbon strategy.
The actions funded under this Key Activity are intended to
complement and support the dissemination and exploitation of
specific project results integrated within the four sectoral
programmes and the other transversal Key Activities (i.e. by means
of individual project 'dissemination and exploitation plans', and
specific actions under
Accompanying Measures and under the
responsibility of the National Agencies).
Projects funded under
this Key Activity could address one or more of the following:
- Actions to further develop and embed a European strategy on
exploitation of results in the field of
lifelong learning,
for example supporting studies, demonstration projects, development
and testing of methodologies, business models and practical tools
for sharing, transfer and exploitation of results
- Actions to test and develop ways of transferring and embedding
project results into policy, defining and presenting mechanisms to
link projects, programmes and policies, and supporting and
reinforcing on-going European cooperation actions in particular in
connection with OMC actions/priorities,
benchmarking
etc.
- European level activities to promote active exploitation of
results (conferences, seminars and other exchanges between products
and potential new users). Priority will be given to actions for
exploitation of results by existing networks (not funding for
network start-up or running costs) where there is a clearly
articulated user requirement.
- Capacity-building projects to identify, engage and promote
networks with the potential to act as intermediaries for the
exploitation of results (e.g. actions to identify network contacts,
establish an ‘exploitation’ remit for the network(s), promote and
implement marketing techniques and methodologies for the transfer
and exploitation of results).
- Actions to support the improved accessibility of project
results.
Only projects which propose an integrated approach across two or
more different lifelong learning sectors and/or related activities
in the fields of culture, media, citizenship and youth will be
eligible. Preference will normally be given to projects which
involve key decision-makers and/or demonstrate potential for
significant measurable impact at sectoral, regional, national and/or
European level.
This specific Key Activity for the dissemination and exploitation
of results is an innovation within this programme reflecting a
growing awareness of the need to ensure maximum impact from EU-funded
programmes in support of the revised Lisbon strategy and delivery of
Education and
Training 2010. In view of the experimental nature of this
action, project applicants should pay particular attention in their
proposals to demonstrating the need for their project, describing
clearly what they propose to do, and setting out the anticipated
measurable results, impact and value-added. Applicants should be
aware that the projects selected for funding will be closely
monitored to identify emerging
good and
interesting practices and results of relevance to the creation
of an EU-level framework for the exploitation of results; and may be
subject to a targeted impact study in the medium to longer term.
