Executive Summary The INNOLABS Consortium sees communication and dissemination as a key strategy for a successful project. Thus, project partners will work hard to raise awareness of INNOLABS project, its concept, sub-granted projects’ outcome, and most importantly the promotion of the innovation activities that will take place within the INNOLABS project. Furthermore, as the project communication and dissemination activities will reach out to all stakeholders in the healthcare value chain and the ecosystem.
Delivering clear messages and ensuring a fluent and rich communication constitutes a key pillar for INNOLABS success.
Based on the defined objectives, and taking into consideration the characteristics of each target group, appropriate channels and materials will be used, to reach our audiences. Most of these materials will be created and elaborated for the different INNOLABS events, and then later profited by the rest of the project.
Taking into account that external communication strategy depends on refined internal communication, an essential part of this Dissemination and Communication Plan involves the gathering of information regarding consortium member’s dissemination‐related opinions, as well as information regarding the value which each party can bring, from their own perspective, into the strategy of the Plan.
Furthermore, lessons learnt and outcomes from INNOLABS project will be collected and included within the INNOLABS White Book, that will be available through INNOLABS website.
PROJECT Nº H2020 - 691556 INNOLABS

1 Methodology Dissemination: INNOLABS large events (Hackathons, EIICE) and other activities will be performed based on design thinking methodology.
Design Thinking is a human centered, cross disciplinary and prototype-driven innovation methodology. Through structured, creative processes, the multidisciplinary groups will work out new solutions that are attractive for the humans actually using the product or service, taking starting point in their needs, as well as solutions that are economically sustainable and technically feasible.
Design Thinking has proven very effective when it comes to solving fuzzy problems in a completely new way - always with the users first.
Figure 1 - Illustration of where the magic of Design Thinking is found
The results for workshops will be evaluated for implementation in the acceleration process.
2 Internal coordination Internal coordination facilitates real time communication between project partners during the lifecycle of this project. This will ensure technical progress of the project including monitoring the integrity of work packages and alignment of co-dependent tasks across work packages. It will also enhance mutual learning, shared problem solving and risk management.
Definition of activities Internal communication is carried out within the project involving all Consortium partners and their respective staff, and between the Consortium and the European Commission in order to
(i) keep all partners actively involved in the project (ii) agree and jointly develop a Communication and Dissemination Plan (iii) formulate key, targeted messages jointly
PROJECT Nº H2020 -691556 INNOLABS
11
(iv) engage dialogue among and encourage all the partners to think about i. how to make clear messages about the focus of INNOLABS and how it
is different from other initiative ii. how INNOLABS can attract a lot of attention
iii. what we want to achieve specifically with this publicity, and what is realistic
(v) acquire a good, common understanding of who we want to reach (direct and indirect target groups, intermediaries) and the ways of how the well-defined external audience will possibly respond to INNOLABS’ messages & services
(vi) react and respond in a timely and efficient way whenever something happens that is relevant to the project from a communication point of view
(vii) review partner and project level dissemination activities, discuss effectiveness and learning from the actions that can shape future activities
(viii) make joint decisions related to dissemination (ix) share generated knowledge (outputs, project findings) with other Partners for
review and discussion to ensure high quality results and using them in project and partner level dissemination activities
(x) regularly review the implementation of the dissemination action plan and any deviations
(xi) regularly review project communication efforts and impact both in qualitative and measurable way
(xii) discuss data and knowledge management issues in order to follow the plan as described in the detailed project plan
(xiii) provide feedback back to the European Commission that can help with amplifying project messages
(xiv) inform WP6 deliverables like D6.1 First communication report (M15) and D6.3 Second communication report (M30).
Multiple ways of communication and mechanisms are in place to make communication active and interactive within the Consortium:
online communication (via INNOLABS Private Repository which is a private website, with sections specific for the INNOLABS project partners and for INNOLABS sub-grant agreement projects in order to coordinate all documentation and ease the administrative management; via E-mail)
core group meetings regular, monthly conference calls written documentation like Dissemination Activity Plan, minutes of meetings, Action
points, Briefing notes, Briefing papers to pinpoint key issues for discussions among the WPs
For each Work Package, a team leader will be designated with the overall responsibility for planning, implementing and reporting about the required partner level dissemination activities.
2.1 Plan approval The Work Package 6 team (Communication and Dissemination) is responsible for coordinating the development of the INNOLABS Dissemination Plan, Communication Activity Plan and an Events Agenda which are informed by all Consortium partners.
This Dissemination Plan is developed jointly according to an agreed timetable. The final version will be discussed and agreed within the Consortium via email with final approval given as part of a regular online project steering committee meeting in M3 or M4.
PROJECT Nº H2020 -691556 INNOLABS
12
The Communication Activity Plan and the Events Agenda will be regularly updated and is accessible for all partners to be reviewed, commented, and editing via the INNOLABS Private Repository.
2.2 Feedback regarding evaluation of achieved results Monitoring and evaluation of communication and dissemination activities are continuous throughout the course of the project. Learning from these activities shape future activities by giving feedback to the Consortium.
Work Package 6 (Communication and Dissemination) will be responsible for regular monitoring of communication and dissemination activities under the supervision of WP1 (Project management). By developing an activity plan WP6 will monitor and verify if project communication and dissemination is being implemented as planned and is reaching its objectives.
Regular data collection about the planned dissemination actions will use measurable indicators.
Feedback on progress will be shared with the Consortium regularly in a written form. Progress, any deviations or necessary amendments from the original plan will also be discussed with the Consortium partners at the regular Core Group meetings.
If required, external evaluation will examine if INNOLABS goals and objectives have been reached and what lessons have been learned. Evaluation results and recommendations will complement the learning from internal monitoring of communication and dissemination activities.
3 Dissemination Plan
3.1 Goal determination INNOLABS dissemination goals description: Stimulate to increased innovation and value creation within the defined areas of interest through workshops, service jams and other activities. Target SMEs, potential investors, distributors, potential acquirers and other interested parties to materialize the innovation to sustainable products and services.
INNOLABS communication strategy aims to not only disseminate the projects outcomes, but also to set up a base of key associations and entities interested in supporting innovation at a European level.
The strategy purpose is to:
• Present and underline the project concept and strategy message.
• Attract stakeholders, investors and any entity interested in the project.
• Engage the interested actors to participate actively in the workshops and events of INNOLABS Work Program. The feedback from interested parties for the different activities is considered key for our project.

3.2 Definition of messages To ensure consistent communication we will define key messages for the project. The key messages will be aligned with the project goals and objectives, and be the basis for all external communication.
INNOLABS key messages will encourage audience participation in project events. It is important for the project to ensure communication flow to all stakeholders. Creating synergies between the interested parties and future, potential actors is an essential goal for the INNOLABS project.
Figure 2 - INNOLABS Logo
3.3 Key actors; definition The INNOLABS project will identify key events, workshops and activities of interest for our target groups and goals, and create an activity plan accordingly.
Disseminate the project information to all relevant entities and stakeholders, and spread of INNOLABS events, workshops and activities to ensure maximum publicity.
Based on the initial communication objectives, the following target audiences for the communication plan has been identified:
• Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs);
• Start-ups;
• Individual entrepreneurs, application developers and similar audience.
Additionally, the target business and research communities that may be interested in the project results include:
• Investor, VC and business angels;
• ICT, health, BIO and medical industry community;
• Community focused on ageing population;
• European, national and local media;
• Governments and policy makers.
Based on the above, the target audience in the INNOLABS project can be classified generally into two main groups: interested entities (including investors, stakeholders, etc.) and the applicants and participants (SMEs, Start-ups, individual entrepreneurs, etc.). The defined target audience will determine the most appropriate way of communication.
PROJECT Nº H2020 -691556 INNOLABS

3.4 Communication channels INNOLABS consortium is planning to utilize a wide range of communication channels in order to increase stakeholders’ awareness and achieve robust dissemination of the projects activities, a key leap towards the successful participation on INNOLABS activities, enabling to get better outcomes. A set of communication channels has already been deployed from the project´s very beginning, while the remaining ones have been planned for the near future.
Based on the defined objectives, and taking into consideration each target group characteristics, appropriate channels and materials will be used, to reach the desired target audiences.
In order to minimize the overhead of these tools, whenever possible all of them will be realized using already existing tools like for example:
• Open Calls Submission process will be done through the website .
• Private website platform is based on open the source Owncloud SW, Open Office and several other SW.
• Ideal-ist for mailing list additional support.
• EC Commission Open Calls webpage will be used to disseminate open calls and events.
• Conf4me, the same that EC uses for events management of ICT Events.
3.4.1 Web Site
The INNOLABS web site has already been created and is running since the first month of the project, although not all its functionalities are operative yet.
INNOLABS website public portal will be the main reference point for all actors interested in the project’s development, it will display all the project information, public documents, events agenda, news, etc.
INNOLABS website will also have an internal private website with specific sections for the INNOLABS project partners, and for participating and selected SMEs.
PUBLIC WEBSITE
The public project’s web site is hosted under:
The public website will serve as the front face of INNOLABS and main informational portal for audience interested in the project development and actions.
It will be structured as follows:

3.4.1 Mailing lists
At least, three INNOLABS mailing lists will be created, maintained and updated.
The INNOLABS project mailing list has already been created and is operational from the beginning of the project. Since the majority of the partners are involved in all WPs, it was decided to have a single INNOLABS mailing list, including all project partner contributors. The majority of the project communications will be conducted through this list. Separated WP mailing lists will be created, if needed.
Once the website is fully operative, general public will have the option to subscribe and join INNOLABS Newsletter mailing list. Subscribers will receive by email INNOLABS monthly Newsletter, with information of the latest project novelties, advances, events, etc.
In order to reach all the public interested on INNOLABS and obtain an extensive Newsletter mailing list, all partners will help to disseminate general information about INNOLABS project through their networks, and will also advertise the project through their own communication channels.
In addition to this, there will be several Selected Projects mailing lists. After each Open Call resolution two different mailing lists will be created, one for funded projects and another for finalist projects. These mailing lists will be used to deliver significant information regarding the project development, reporting and timing in a fair and efficient communication way.
3.4.2 Social Media
INNOLABS project will work to establish strong presence to social media, following current dissemination trends. To this end, three different social networks (Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn) has been set to:
• Provide information about INNOLABS
• Advertise INNOLABS Events
• Disseminate outcomes, materials and interesting information
• Maintain an up-to-date image.
• Reaching broader audiences
Therefore, INNOLABS has already launched a Twitter account () and a Facebook account (), that will be enable to create a two-way communication with INNOLABS website.
WP6 leader will be responsible for updating the different social media accounts. The rest of the Project Members are expected to generate further impact by sharing and promoting INNOLABS posts through their own existing accounts.
INNOLABS Twitter account (Figure 5) is a broad network, where all type of information will be shared. The hashtag #INNOLABS will be used to refer to the project. For each INNOLABS Event a specific hashtag will be outlined and used together with the main one.
INNOLABS Facebook account (Figure 7) can easily become a fast and informal way of sharing all kind of information.
INNOLABS LinkedIn account (Figure 6) has also been considered due it is an important professional network. It will be used to target possible stakeholders. LinkedIn account will also encompass news, scientific papers, thematic articles related to the project main topics and selected through relevant sources.
To measure and boost INNOLABS impact on social media Twitter Analytics and Facebook Analytics will be used.
PROJECT Nº H2020 -691556 INNOLABS

3.4.3 Direct contact with key experts
The Communication departments of all Consortium partners will work in close collaboration, under the coordination of the WP leader, to establish closer contacts with related key experts, organizations or projects, that might collaborate by participating or cooperating in INNOLABS Events or directly in the project development. These networking activities will increase INNOLABS chances to be widely known.
The following two-way communication channels have been foreseen:
• Dialogues, face-to-face conversations
• Conferences
• Brokerage events
• Meetings
• Workshops
• Telephone calls / Video conferences
• E-mail information service
• Internet database
Interpersonal communication is generally more effective and less expensive, although is time and effort consuming. But for reaching specific objectives it has been considered to be appropriated, due it is more interactive and flexible and beneficial for reaching agreements or receiving input.
3.4.4 Local media
Besides the dissemination activities addressed to a worldwide audience (web site, social media, scientific publications etc.), INNOLABS consortium will, also, concentrate on raising awareness on a local or regional level. For this purpose, press releases in local languages will be issued, communicating the project development and most important the opportunity that participating in all the activities to be developed throughout the INNOLABS project.
Furthermore, presentations in local media and appearances in local or national press will be pursued. Links to all articles or other media coverage will be loaded in the website, in the News section.
In addition, key information about the project and its results will be inserted in leading science newsletters and blogs such as CORDIS NEWS.
3.5 Communication and Promotion Material Since INNOLABS aims at identifying and supporting brilliant ideas among willing entrepreneurs and innovators, communication plays a key role within the project. Raising awareness about the potential of INNOLABS initiatives and about the chance to be involved in a customized service plan is crucial for the success of the whole project.
The communication materials will provide valuable support in introducing the project to the audience, presenting its purpose, providing seamless updates about the progress and results achieved while implementing the activities.
INNOLABS communication materials will be produced both in electronic (newsletter, videos, infographics) as well as printed forms (brochures, reports, short magazines). In the following lines, we provide an overview for each of them.
PROJECT Nº H2020 -691556 INNOLABS
20
3.5.1 Communication and Promotional Material Template
Most of our communication and promotional material will be related to the events INNOLABS will run and the procedures to apply to have the chance to compete and access to further support, both monetarily and by benefitting from innovation services. To this end, the core of communication and promotional campaign will rely on “friendly” and “catchy” tools of information able to draw the attention of key targets, providing concrete details on how to get engaged, such as newsletters, leaflets and other appropriated communication material.
INNOLABS partners agree on the fact that the Promotional material shall include the project logo and the reference to European Union as follows: “This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 691556”.
3.5.2 Communication and Promotional Material Content
Public Deliverables: they will be available through the web page:
http://www.innolabs.io/index.html
This will:
• provide a continuous stream of information by underlining the main initiatives from time to time
• demonstrate the proactivity and the enthusiasm behind the design and realization of the events
• further guarantee INNOLABS consortium’s commitment and adherence to the project in the implementation phase of the project
Brochure: will be created at the beginning of the project. It will contain all the information related to the project and the content Idea Events, the core of INNOLABS project
They will be designed and printed in A5 format, streamlining the fact that the project encourages the generation of new value chains in the healthcare sectors, thanks to the synergies and the activities of different players, such as SMEs, research centres, startups, hospitals operating in “apparently” different fields. The brochure will also mention the two main macro areas,
Figure 8 – Samples of INNOLABS Brochures - Covers
PROJECT Nº H2020 -691556 INNOLABS
21
personalized and mobile health, proposals are expected to address to, with a focus on elderly population.
On the other hand, the back of the brochures will provide more info on the whole project, scope and types of events to be undertaken for the benefit of companies and other key targets, with an invitation to visit the dedicated website to get the latest news. Of course, every brochure will be personalized with an area containing all the useful contact details of the INNOLABS partner involved in that specific promotion activity.
Newsletter will be published each month with the most relevant aspects and upcoming appointments.
About the newsletter, the target audience will be carefully taken into account and the topics to include will be chosen accordingly. In the editing phase, particular attention will be drawn on the use of concise and comprehensible vocabulary to ensure readability, avoiding verbose language. The amount of content will be also considered, in order to let the newsletter be sustainable.
An interesting feature related to this tool is the impact, that will be measured by monitoring how people scan the publication on a regular basis and tracking what's happening.
INNOLABS dissemination (promotion and showcasing) videos will be also produced, by identifying purpose and strategic goals to the story.
INNOLABS consortium will design a creative brief and a story outline; considering the goals, genre, and audience; further, script and story board will be worked out. Key messages are related to:
• the impact of personalized health and mobile health on everyday life
• the potential of cross-sectoral collaboration to this end
• the enthusiasm of participating at hackathons and contests

The viewers (stakeholders, public authorities together with entrepreneurs, university students, innovators, startuppers) should feel compelled to the course of actions undertaken by INNOLABS.
Additional related dissemination material will be specifically created for each INNOLABS event and profited by the rest of the project.
Among this type of material dedicated “save the date” (e.g. 19cm x 6cm) will be designed and printed focusing on a specific event, such as a hackathon, a bootcamp or ideas contest event.

Press Releases
The press release supports marketing and communications objectives. As keyword-rich content supporting search optimization, the press release—especially in its social media format—is a very effective marketing tool for attracting mainstream, trade media and public attention. The press release related to INNOLABS will provide the basic facts needed to develop a news story and increases the chances of the project news being reported.
