Preliminary Dissemination and Publication Plan
The project establishes its initial audiences, channels, publication approach, timing and coordination mechanisms.
M6
Corporate Identity and Website
ReSiLient launches its visual identity, website and communication channels to support consistent public engagement.
M12
Technical Advisory Group Launch
External stakeholders begin providing structured feedback on project developments and industrial relevance.
M12
European Stakeholder Survey
A cross-European survey explores perceptions of sustainable raw materials among diverse stakeholder groups.
M24
Updated Dissemination and Publication Plan
The project reviews its outreach approach and updates priorities based on progress and emerging results.
TBC
Technical Demonstration and Validation
Project materials and processes advance through technical development and end-user assessment.
M48
Final Dissemination and Project Close
ReSiLient consolidates publications, public outputs, stakeholder feedback and project outcomes for future uptake.
