INNO-Learning Platform: Call for academic expert on innovation project communication
INNO-Actions and INNO-Nets are projects to foster transnational cooperation in the field of innovation. They strive to achieve pre-established (project-specific) operational goals. But achieving these goals is only part of the job. So is sharing these results and putting lessons learned regarding features and ingredients of effective transnational cooperation at the disposal of other interested actors and audiences with a stake in similar activities. In other words, valorization of project outcomes requires effective communication and dissemination strategies in order to spread relevant knowledge and skills as widely as possible among target populations. Such communication and dissemination activities should go beyond sheer information dissemination and should, wherever possible, reach a higher impact: raising awareness, facilitation of learning processes, fostering engagement, influencing decision-making or project design. In view of the importance of such project communication, on the 27th of November 2008 a Review meeting of these INNO-Net and INNO-Action projects will be organized in Leuven (Belgium), where the managers of all the projects will present and show-case the project results as well as the communications strategy and activities developed to valorize them. In order to provide scientifically founded feedback on this, we look for an academic expert in the field of communication to participate in this event. Of particular interest is expertise with regard to communication around innovation. The tasks to be fulfilled for this are: 1. pre-analysis of the communication strategy of each project based on a project summary of 2 or 3 pages to be produced by the project managers prior to the event itself, 2. participation in the event itself (27/11/2008), 3. drafting of a concluding report on possibilities to further valorize the results of the respective projects by means of communication and dissemination tools and strategies (final Deliverable).
