Within STREAMER is dissemination and stakeholder engagement central to the success of the results, which is

why the dissemination activities have been an essential and pervasive activity throughout the project’s life, and

have been integrated within all its work packages.

The overall objective of the STREAMER dissemination strategy since the beginning of the project was to identify

and reach as many stakeholders that will be involved within the STREAMER’s research activities in order to raise

their awareness regarding the findings of the project and to encourage them to support and adopt the

STREAMER’s solutions and recommendations regarding participatory design/ design optimisation. The intent

here was to create an impact that will last beyond the end of the project by making the results of the research

known to those who could benefit from them (i.e. identification of the issues, opportunities and challenges

surrounding the participatory design within the healthcare sector). This would enable STREAMER to strengthen

the research and knowledge base of stakeholders by facilitating the presentation of the work and results of

STREAMER precisely and effectively to as wide a stakeholder audience as possible.

In this respect, the dissemination of the project results and activities took place through a set of initiatives around

the project: website; Implementers Community, meetings, conferences, software seminars, design workshops,

demonstrations, networking activities on European, national and local scale, as well as publications in scientific

journals and other promotional materials such as newsletters, leaflets, posters, etc.

This deliverable (D8.6) consists of all knowledge dissemination materials developed during the whole lifespan of

the project (M1-M48). It represents the documentation part of the respective dissemination and communication

initiatives performed within STREAMER, and describes shortly the dissemination and communication strategy

and channels STREAMER used in order to spread the word about its results.

This report is one of the final results of Work Package 8 (Dissemination and Standardisation). Next to D8.1, D8.2,

D8.3, D8.5, D8.7 and D8.8 the main aim of D8.6 is to create an overview of all dissemination materials and

publications developed along the way. This overview works as an instrument to communicate and promote further

the projects results through the developed promotional materials and chosen publication channels for the future

commercial exploitation of the knowledge gained and the tools/solutions developed during this project.
