EUMSSI D8.6 Final Dissemination Report 4

1. INTRODUCTION

This document is the D8.6 deliverable of the EUMSSI project. It details the dissemination activities performed throughout the project, i.e. the entire 36 months. D8.6 is the third document dealing with dissemination; D8.2 Dissemination and IPR Plan was published after M12, D8.4 Dissemination Report after M24. As D8.6 covers the whole project lifetime, it is inevitable that parts of its information have been published in the other two deliverables before. During the three project years a fair amount of conferences, trade shows and relevant events were attended and 33 scientific papers (conference/workshop papers and articles in journals) were published. The produced dissemination materials include the production of three videos/animations, project brochure and posters. This deliverable is made up of three chapters: the introduction, the dissemination activities (chapter 2) covering all activities carried out in the three project years and the conclusions drawn (chapter 3).

2. DISSEMINATION IN EUMSSI

2.1. Dissemination Strategy

The knowledge about the project was disseminated through several dissemination methods to reach the target audiences.

Method Purpose Description

Inform Awareness Engage Promote

Project Web site X X X X The project web site is one

of the most versatile dissemination tools. It

should have all the

information of the project and must be updated

regularly.

Press releases X It can be used to announce an important achievement

Flyers/brochures X It is useful to create a flyer

that can be circulated at conferences, fairs, etc.

Projects/cluster

meetings

X Projects meetings are

excellent opportunities for projects to learn from each

other, discuss common

issues and get feedback on their world

Conference/fairs

presentations

X X X National and international

conferences are an important opportunity to

share project achievements with experts in the field.

Fairs have a specific impact

on promotion.

Workshop X Workshops are small

interactive events held to

achieve a specific objective. A workshop could be used

to get feedback from users on a demo or to get

feedback from experts on a

particular issue.

Demonstrations X Demonstrations allow showing project

developments and getting feedback

Journal articles X Case studies explain what

has been done and what has been learned so others

can benefit from our

experience

EUMSSI D8.6 Final Dissemination Report 6

2.2. Target Groups for Dissemination

The primary target audiences for the dissemination activities are the following:

1. The EC–ICT community: with the aim to raise awareness regarding the project’s objectives and results and trigger collaborations which enable EUMSSI to exploit synergies with projects sharing similar or complementary goals (such as the close collaborations with the ICT projects MULTISENSOR and SAM).

2. The scientific/research community: with the aim to spread the scientific results and enable triggering their use in other areas as well.

3. The industrial community: to communicate and promote the project results to both technology providers as well as business users.

4. The media industry: to disseminate EUMSSI results in relevant industrial sectors through demonstrations, and promotion at industry events. In particular Deutsche Welle and VSN use their established networks.

5. The general public: it was a goal of the consortium to involve the so-called general public as much as possible.

2.3. Dissemination materials

2.3.1. Website

The project website www.eumssi.eu went online in the first project month (December 2013). It was continuously updated with new project information, conferences to be attended, publications, and it provides the so-called R&D Gossip section where links to interesting articles related to the EUMSSI research fields were published. In total, 29 R&D Gossip posts and 16 project news articles were published. Below you can see a screenshot of the main page.

EUMSSI D8.6 Final Dissemination Report 7

Figure 1: EUMSSI Website

The EUMSSI project portal provides an extensive overview of the project's aims and main achievements and it is addressing technological aspects that are of interest to the various user groups of EUMSSI (content creators, viewers). The EUMSSI website will be available for at least another year after the official project end.

2.3.2. Project Flyer

A flyer explaining the project in non-technical words was created and made available online1. It outlines the objectives, concepts and vision of EUMSSI. This brochure was

EUMSSI D8.6 Final Dissemination Report 8

used at public events (conferences, workshops, exhibitions, etc.), which were attended by the EUMSSI partners.

Figure 2: EUMSSI Project Flyer

2.3.3. EUMSSI video clips

In total, three promotional video clips and animations were produced in the course of the project. The first one, produced in December 2013, at the very beginning of the project, contained interviews of the staff involved in EUMSSI and explained their motivation to participate and expectations towards the project.

The third video clip was a silent, text-only animation published in three languages (English, French, Spanish). It was created with the software GoAnimate and it was released in September 2016 right before the IBC 2016 in Amsterdam, Netherlands, to be shown there for the first time.

Figure 5: Second EUMSSI Animation

All video clips were uploaded to EUMSSI’s YouTube channel and linked from there to the project website.

2.4. Dissemination activities

2.4.1. Papers at scientific conferences/workshops and journal publications

During the project lifetime, the EUMSSI partners published one journal article, with another journal paper in the process of revision2, and 40 scientific and workshop papers on the project results. In June 2016, IDIAP and LIUM released an article on the EUMSSI result in the journal “Frontiers in ICT”:

2 A joint project paper is being reviewed at the moment of writing this report, to be published in the

Multimedia Tools and Applications journal, Special issue on Content-based multimedia indexing: “The

EUMSSI storytelling tool for data journalists. A multi-layered approach to multimedia content analysis”

3. CONCLUSIONS

The dissemination goals that the EUMSSI project set for itself from the start have been widely covered during these three years. The EUMSSI technical partners have published a sizeable amount of scientific papers, with relevant contributions and successful participation in international challenges and evaluation campaigns. The project has been well-represented in conferences and specialized forums, and, of particular importance for its ensuing exploitation, in most relevant industry events in the field. The dissemination schedule has been well-balanced all through the project duration, starting early and progressively increasing from 15 events in the first year, to 20 during the second and up to 28 on the last year. Special mention should be made of the two workshops organized or co-organized by EUMSSI, the journal papers, the two successful User Days and finally the Innovation Radar Prize awarded to EUMSSI partner LIUM for the innovative technology developed in the framework of EUMSSI. All dissemination events and news regarding the project and related research areas have been regularly reported on the website, which will be kept online for a due period of time. All code developed in the course of the project is well-documented and accessible in GitHub.
