4. Whydisseminate? • “Significant emphasis is placed on the impact of EUco-financed projects and on the concrete plans for ensuring that what they produce will be widely known about and widely used. The results generated, the lessons learned and the experience gained by each project team should be made available to the widest possible audience”. • “Well-planned and well-executed dissemination and exploitation ensure that project results have a reach beyond those directly involved in the consortium and an impact that is sustained beyond the project's lifetime.” Source: EACEA Lifelong Learning Programme Project handbook 2010http://eacea.ec.europa.eu/llp/beneficiaries/2010/reporting_lifelong_learning_2010_en.php FLLLEX meeting 9 May 2012
