What are the aims?

The prime objective for actions under Key Activity 4 'Dissemination and Exploitation of Results' 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.

What types of activity?

The following actions, intended to 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, are proposed under the key activity of dissemination and exploitation of results:

	Unilateral and national projects
	Multilateral projects aimed, inter alia, at: 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…); and the promotion of ’exploitation’ activities by regional/European/sectoral networks with the aim of promoting a virtuous circle between policy development and practical experiences.
	The establishment of reference materials which may include the collection of relevant statistical data and studies in the field of dissemination, the exploitation of results and the exchange of good practice.

How do activities under Key Activity 4 fit with dissemination and exploitation activities elsehwhere in the LLP?

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; and the activities funded under Accompanying Measures within the four sectoral Programmes and Key Activity 2 Languages.

The projects funded under this Key Activity should therefore focus on creating systems and mechanisms to support the dissemination and exploitation of results, as well as promoting the exploitation of cross-cutting and EU-level exploitation actions.
