WP7 bundles all data policies, dissemination, and external communication activities together in one WP. This WP will be led by ISP-CNR with input from all the relevant partners. Data will be made available at internationally recognized data repositories (NOAA, Pangaea) on publication. Scientific results will be published in open access journals or made available on open access platforms, and also disseminated through conference presentations, and popular articles. WP7 will be responsible for gathering, disseminating, and conveying knowledge and experiences produced in the other WPs. It will also develop and deliver upon the dissemination and communication plan and revise the plan if objectives are not met. It will synthesise and communicate results as well as produce key project deliverables combining dissemination tools with more innovative and participatory activities.
