MELIA (Coordination Action, EC 6th FP) Kick-off Meeting Sevilla, 4-7 September 2006 Dissemination: possible targets and means Claudio Bogliotti CIHEAM-IAMB
Traditional dissemination is proved to have some success in research but fail to link with the other dimensions…. • missing the interlinkage with real/usual life (societal dimension) • missing the interlinkage with the politicians (political dimension and no policy dimension) • difficulty to be understood and to identify dissemination needs • difficulty to improve mutual trustfulness (project vs. stakeholders and society) • produce no means of tangible and direct benefits (economic dimension) • detached from an education based dissemination approach, possibly centred on children, youths and adults (social, institutional and environmental dimensions) • unable to produce true motivation in citizens and politicians • difficult follow-up after dissemination • more interest to increase own visibility and show own knowledge rather than developing sustainable means of communication for dissemination
