This document discusses the importance of strategic communication for Horizon 2020 projects. It notes that communication and impact are equally as important as scientific excellence in evaluations. However, many projects do not involve communication experts and focus their strategies only on disseminating results. The document provides advice for coordinators on developing comprehensive communication strategies from the start of projects and throughout their durations. It also aims to dispel myths that communication is just about tools or dissemination, rather than a professional field.

The document is a study on social media governance in 2011 that surveyed 596 communications professionals in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. The key findings from the study include:
1) Social media is increasing the workload of PR professionals, with over 60% feeling increased daily pressure and 30% feeling they cannot accomplish the extra work required.
2) While communications professionals use social media more than the general public, only 22.8% consider their expertise to be high, indicating a need for more training.
3) 71.3% of organizations are now actively using social media, up from 54.3% in 2010, but below original expectations, as 28.7% are still not active.

This document discusses several Ruby on Rails best practices including maintaining DRY code, using fat models and skinny controllers, avoiding N+1 queries, preventing SQL injection, using scopes to define common query patterns, and leveraging counter caches to improve performance. Key practices emphasized include organizing application logic in models, defining common queries with scopes, sanitizing user input to prevent SQL injection, preloading associated data to reduce the number of queries, and using counter caches to optimize counting related records.
This document discusses various security vulnerabilities in Ruby on Rails applications including session hijacking, CSRF, mass assignment, and SQL injection. It provides recommendations to address these issues such as using SSL, adding session expiration, sanitizing user input, and using parameterized queries. The key takeaway is that security must be an ongoing process as new vulnerabilities emerge, and failing to address issues can enable catastrophic attacks on applications and user data.
The document discusses the benefits of conventions in Rails and the need for conventions in building APIs and client-side frameworks. It argues that conventions save developers from having to make trivial decisions and push problems into shared solutions. While Rails has benefited from conventions like REST, there is still room to improve APIs and make them as transparent as ActiveRecord. ActiveModel::Serializers is presented as one approach to provide conventions for serialization. The document also discusses how conventions could improve browser frameworks and application structure beyond just code organization.
This document discusses best practices for developing Ruby on Rails applications. It provides guidelines for structuring Rails code, including using model associations and callbacks, extracting logic into modules and composed classes, and leveraging patterns like observers to organize code. The document also recommends practices like keeping finders on their own models and using named scopes to improve code quality. It aims to help developers write clean, well-organized code that follows principles like DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) and the Law of Demeter.

and the public. But unfortunately, many research projects suffer from
communication parts of poor quality. The lack of impact implies among other things
that the EU Commission (and hence taxpayers) do not get value for money.
But there is no reason to lose ground because of poor communication - neither
during the application phase nor when the project gets underway.
By the launch of Horizon 2020, it seems that communication/impact is moving up
one step, compared to FP7. This is the evaluation model, weighted equally:
1. Scientific & technological excellence
2. Impact (communication/dissemination/exploitation)
3. Implementation (management, etc.)
This means that successful communication weighs as heavily as e.g. the scientific
part. Unfortunately, many choose to focus on professional resources within part 1
and 3, while 2 is being “handled” through formulations about a website and a
person to popularize the results and send them to the press. This is where the
project risks losing points - and also those who slip through the eye of the needle,
will run into problems when the project is underway.
There is no reason for this. One only has to remember that part 2 requires
professional approach and competencies at the same level as those necessary for
the project in areas such as administration and science/technology. Therefore,
communication expertise should be involved in parallel, from the application stage.

Get a good start
In order to achieve optimal quality and impact of project communication, it is
important to address the communication aspects as soon as you possess an
overview of your project goals and concept. Then you will decide at which stage a
communication professional should be involved.
The process could be like this:
a. Idea development
b. Preliminary project goals and plan
c. Partner research
d. Constitution of consortium
e. Composing application
f. The “Go” from the EC
g. Implementation of project plan (DOW)
c:
Depending on the size and concept of the project, you might want to involve a
communication business as a SME partner, in order to ensure in-house
competency. Alternatively, you could consult a communication expert to clarify the
proportions of communicational needs.
e:
At this stage, involving a communication professional is mandatory. The application
should include a comprehensive communication strategy, not only “we will hire a
webdesigner and a journalist”. On the basis of the strategy, communication
facilities and working hours for the entire project can be calculated and included in
the budget.
g:
At this point, the coordinator and the communication manager can start
implementing the communication strategy. To ensure optimal working conditions,
the structure (don’t forget this in the application) should be like this:
The communication manager should be leader of the Work Package “communication
and dissemination”, the coordinator should be a member of this Work Package, and
the communication manager should be a member of the management group.

Myths and facts about communication
The three main myths are:
1. Communication is the mere use of tools like websites, email and print.
2. Communication is the dissemination & popularising of project results via the
media.
3. The dynamics of communication do not apply for R&D projects.
1.
Communication is a well documented professional field, taught at universities
throughout the world, including models, terms and theories. Communication is
more than a toolbox - it is a way of thinking and planning, a way of systemizing the
handling of relations.
Successful project communication requires solid competencies in strategic
communication, not only knowledge within e.g. advertising or journalism.
The toolbox contains tools like e.g. communication strategy, stakeholder
management, newsletters, articles, website, social media, events, press releases,
etc.
2.
Strategic communication includes a lot of processes and elements. Dissemination
(e.g. of project results) is only a subset of communication. The media are not the
only communication channels, neither the only stakeholders. A lot of stakeholders
are involved, and maintaining relations with those is a two-way process.
If a project focuses on dissemination only, they will miss a lot of opportunities and
might not during the project period obtain the necessary goodwill among the
stakeholders, including media. This will affect the final impact and exploitation of
project results.
If Nokia was only communicating every time a new telephone hit the market, they
would be dead by now.
3.
There is no substance for believing that R&D projects and their stakeholders should
interact beyond communication theories and dynamics.
For decades, the field of communication has been an essential element in the
business world. In the scientific research communities, this is not the case. They do
not sell merchandise - they produce knowledge, experience and data, they say.
Speaking of their relations to the outside world, though, this does not make any
difference. The “natural laws” of communication work the same way in research
communities as in business life.
