Contribution to EmerGO

OiEau leads the activities dealing with communication, outreach, impact and upscaling, and is hence particularly involved in setting up a strategy to maximize the project impacts via a high visibility and sharing of its results. OiEau closely monitors and assesses these activities and also ensures strategic liaison with other European projects and key initiatives and clusters.  

In addition, OiEau leads tasks on awareness-raising tools and campaigns aimed at consumers in the agri-food industry, on pedagogical tools for industries and on training to build the skills of different target groups, both during and beyond project life.
