The main objective of the APPLICATE project is to develop enhanced predictive capacity for weather and climate in the Arctic and beyond, and to determine the influence of Arctic climate change on the Northern Hemisphere. WP7 integrates three main areas of action: communication and dissemination of the project results, user engagement and training. All the activities will be carefully targeted to different groups of potential audiences (e.g. research community, EU projects, general public) and stakeholders. The objectives of the project’s communication and dissemination activities are to increase the awareness about the impact of Arctic changes on the weather and climate of the Northern Hemisphere. This will be achieved by the development of relevant forms of communication within and outside the EU to adequately disseminate results that could be used for either policy or socioeconomic actions and maximising exposure of the science produced and project results to end-users, stakeholders and the public at large. The communication and dissemination plan provides the framework for the development of this task during the project period, identifying and detailing target audiences, communication tools and channels, key messages and practical information. This plan will be revised and updated during the project lifetime in time for the project periodic reports.
