Dissemination/engagement activities and
impact: relationship
RiLIES project recommendations
Ensure your project has high level support
Include target research audience(s) in the
execution of the research
Take into account target audience(s) preferences
for consuming research output
Present output in a way that is accessible to the
target audience
Much of this is about how the work is
disseminated, in particular:
output format (content creation)
accessibility (sharing)
- and this is where social media come in…
