Description of work

Policy research does not have impact unless it reaches those who make or influence policy. It also has greater impact if those players have been involved in advisory roles at all stages of the research. Through our research design, we have made sure that users and professionals in the field are incorporated in the research process. We are equally committed to diffusing the results so that a wide audience of researchers, public, and press are informed. At a minimum, the following actions will be taken:

Papers will be submitted to major professional journals on the impact analyses conducted.

Public education materials will be prepared in the form of popular publications and press information materials.

A European conference will be held near the end of the project to communicate the results to both professional and popular audiences. This project will be organized jointly with the MEDFROL project.

A summary volume will be produced near the end of the project.

Deliverables

Since this task is the publication task, it involves all the paper and WWW deliverables to be produced on all the other tasks plus the conference likely to be held in September 2006.
