D5.1 Plan for the dissemination and use of results-Final

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This document illustrates the dissemination strategy, introduces and lists the dissemination means and results, and reports the exploitation plan of MEMSCON project. The dissemination plan and report was arranged in order to assist the effective use of resources allocated to the dissemination task and demonstrate its achievement. This includes the maximizing of the effort to advertise the project’s results and research findings to the public so that the project achieves a real impact in the community. The plan aims to provide: the objectives and the strategy for dissemination; a general procedure for the dissemination, including instructions and limitations; a report of the achievements of the dissemination up to now and a prevision per each year of the project duration. During the project MEMSCON consortium regularly presents papers and publications to various national and international events. Generally the added value of each event is priory examined, making sure each time that the maximum amount of audience belonging to the target groups already specified will be reached. This is achieved through project presentations not only to European located international events but also to conferences in the United States and congresses at the international level. The above events will be complemented with publications in international journals. At the same time extensive care of the MEMSCON website through continuous updates aims at maintaining the interest of both experts and end users, while regular newsletters have been sent to the User Forum members. Dissemination material has been produced, including posters and leaflets. Finally, the outcomes of the project are presented in two international workshops specifically dedicated to the project and organized by members of the consortium.

As far as the exploitation aspects are concerned, the output of MEMSCON is a full system in an integrated package, which is composed of multiple bricks developed by numerous partners and working together to provide the appropriate functionality. In this present report, in terms of use of the MEMSCON results, we present:

  • the IPR agreements between partners and the various patents filled,
  • the main plans for the exploitation of the results of the MEMSCON project which include market analyses for the different components that are used within our system,
  • some of the dissemination activities which are linked to this exploitation plan,
  • as well as the additional effords that are required to industrialize the system.

Overall, the system maturity is closely linked to the maturity of the various elements that make it.
