Aims of the Communication and Dissemination Working Group
The aim of this Working Group is to promote the visibility, awareness and impact of the work and results produced by the EHEN network, over and above that which can be achieved by individual projects.
The main tasks of this working group are:
* To implement a common strategy for communication and dissemination of network and project activities, and a common stakeholder engagement strategy, streamlining project-specific strategies
* To promote activities and results of the network to a large audience of relevant stakeholders, employing a range of communication and dissemination tools and translating the results into accessible content
* To develop a virtual exposome toolbox with an inventory of all tools developed in the projects
Working methods
The Working Group meets on-line every 6 weeks/2months. Ongoing projects include:
* Development of communication and dissemination tools, including a virtual exposome toolbox
* Development of a common stakeholder engagement strategy
* Supporting the development and implementation of EHEN’s policy strategy, or the translation of scientific evidence to health policy
