In Horizon Europe, dissemination and exploitation (D&E) of research results are not optional activities, they are contractual obligations. These obligations are clearly defined in the Grant Agreement (GA) and need to be reflected and operationalised within the Consortium Agreement (CA).

Beneficiaries, particularly in Widening countries, often face challenges in fully understanding the requirements, setting up effective D&E strategies, and ensuring compliance throughout the project lifecycle. This awareness-raising webinar aims to present the relevant GA and CA provisions, clarify expectations, highlight good practices, and show available EU support instruments.

Objectives

• Explain D&E obligations as set out in Horizon Europe Grant Agreements.
• Show how D&E is translated into Consortium Agreements and project practice.
• Raise awareness on how D&E contributes to project impact and EU policy goals.
• Share examples of good practice and common pitfalls.

Structure: Introduction by the event organiser, interactive exercise/poll on D&C knowledge (Mentimeter/Slido), presentation of WiderAdvance Facility, D&E in the Grant Agreement, D&E in the Consortium Agreement, D&E in Practice (examples of successful and weak D&E provisions), online Quiz on knowledge gained.

Speakers: Tigran ARZUMANYAN (Chairman SIPAC), Anahit KHACHIKYAN (Project Manager, SIPAC), one speaker from Coordinating team, one expert on D&E in Consortium Agreements
