2. CloudOpting website The CloudOpting website is considered the most versatile dissemination tool and presents general information on related publications, news, events and public deliverables. Its purpose will be to both serve for public dissemination to organizations and individuals interested in the project outcomes, and to provide a platform for information exchange among the project partners. The website will be updated on a regular basis in order to provide complete information about the project, relevant events and conferences to be attended, public deliverables, and others. All public materials will also be available so interested audiences can access them. Furthermore, to ensure that target audiences are motivated to visit the website frequently, it will be promoted via the newsletter, mails and other promotional materials, and through the established CloudOpting social media channels and individual partner webpages.

4 Conclusions and final remarks The CloudOpting website represents the main dissemination tool for the project, providing updated information regarding its current status and progress. Structure and content of the website are subject to modifications and improvements during the duration of the project, while the support and maintenance are considered an on-going activity. The social media networks will be used as a natural extension of the activities performed within and without the project. These channels will provide a constant flow of up-to-date information about CloudOpting and other project-related activities, and will also allow for a more interactive and two-way communication with stakeholders and interested parties.
