European Union
Task 1:
Establish website
Establish a website as a focal point for describing project principles and results arising.
Upgrade on a regular basis. Utilise this as a primary point of communication with
sections focused on manufacturers, researchers and the general public. Mount the
emerging Classification Model and Technology Grid as a centrepiece offering strategic
directions to the Industry.
Status
•Website launched March 2013
•Includes workshop 1-5 reports,
press releases, partner news,
deliverable posters, white papers and summaries
•Live twitter stream with latest news

Status
Significant weekly traffic increase since launch of press releases and magazines

5. Funded by the
European Union
Task 2, 3 & 9:
Press Releases
2. From the earliest stages of the project establish general project awareness among
(1) the industrial manufacturing community of Europe (2) eco and process technology
supply sector- by issuing a series of Press Releases to the relevant trade press. Monitor
impact and develop the Press Release campaign accordingly. Utilise the emerging
Model and Technology Grid as strategic cornerstone offering tangible advice to
manufacturers and suppliers.
3. Conduct supporting Press Release initiatives with the General (non-technical) Press.

Task 6:
Post project developments
By accessing the considerable network of cooperating Trade Associations across
Europe, establish a series of “postings” of project developments as the project
progresses. These postings will be displayed on the e-newsletters of the collaborating
Trade Associations and will reach a large number of industry players in the member
states.
Status
•Approached associations database through series of
Press Releases, Tweets
•Weekly online magazine
•Discussions at events (CEFIC, CEPI, Suschem, Smartcities)

Task 7:
Project workshops
Organise/attend workshop events for the purpose of inducting industrialists
(manufacturers and suppliers) into the technology, approaches and advantages of
integrated low carbon parks. This will serve as a step in stimulating take up and again,
every effort will be made to take advantage of trade association interfaces with
industry in creating awareness of the events and providing regional venues.
Status
•5 workshops scheduled/held

10. Funded by the
European Union
Task 8: Interact with policy
makers/interest groups
Interact with Policy makers and Interest Groups by all possible means including issuing
“white papers” (above) based on results and attending meetings. The emerging
Classification Model and Grid of Underpinning Technologies will be a flagship offering
here, (also featuring on the website).
Status

Task 10:
Highlight socio economic barriers
Highlight potential socio economic barriers to creation of integrated parks with
regional interest groups and local government agencies and means to overcome these
at workshops and via media. Create direct access for European citizens via dedicated
area on project website. Our intention is to create focused papers and press material
embodying the emerging results, identifying key barriers and emphasising the forward
approach necessary for overcoming these issues. We shall broadcast these outputs
using the dissemination mechanisms described above.
Status
•Posters for all relevant deliverables available online
•Dedicated citizens area on website
•Press release focussing on socio-economic barriers scheduled issued
