WP8. Communication and dissemination

Lead UHOH (University of Hohenheim)

All partners

Results from all WPs will be analyzed in a comprehensive manner and spread to scientific and technical communities, consumers and the public. This will be achieved by a continuous release of recommendations through a knowledge-based communication platform. In addition, SuSI members promote knowledge transfer along the value chain in existing regional multi-actor EIP-projects. Several experiments like WP3 or 6 will either be performed in cooperation with farmers and slaughterhouses or the transferability of innovations will be continuously evaluated in accompanying satellite projects. In Germany, immunization success (measured as antibody titer in drip) will be analyzed in projects at slaughterhouse and retailer level [e.g. regional farmers' associations, retailers to identify systematical effects on the number of non-responders. Knowledge transfer is ensured by participation at national round tables with representatives of the entire value chain (e.g. Germany QS). Value chain stakeholders familiar with IC (especially in Belgium) will be consulted throughout the process for a mutual exchange of expertise. SuSI will further be linked to IPEMA (see above) for efficient dissemination. In addition, objectives, progress reports and results are presented at three ERA-NET SusAn seminars. Major results will be published in peer-reviewed scientific journals.
