This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 Page 4 / 44 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101004188 Executive Summary The Initial Communication and Dissemination plan describes the activities that will be implemented by the DeepCube partners during the first half of the project’s lifecycle, to reach and engage its scientific target audiences in the domains of Artificial Intelligence and Earth Observation, as well as the end-users and stakeholders of the pilot Use Cases. It includes guidelines on how to communicate the project objectives and its impact to the diverse target groups, providing examples of key communication messages and lists of representative organizations per identified target community. In addition, the communication plan defines the DeepCube visual identity and describes the social media strategy, the online communication channels, and the printable materials that will be designed for the promotion of the project. The dissemination plan focuses on the description of the activities that will be implemented to promote the project’s results and ensure their uptake by the scientific community. These activities include the organization of DeepCube events and workshops, the participation in high-impact third-party events and international conferences of the space industry and Artificial Intelligence and Earth Observation communities, and the establishment of synergies with EU-funded projects and relevant initiatives that share common interests with DeepCube. The plan includes a list of the project deliverables that will be disseminated, and a list of academic dissemination channels, namely journals and conferences, for the scientific publications that will be produced throughout the project implementation. Lastly, the deliverable defines the key performance indicators that will be used for the evaluation of the impact of communication and dissemination activities and also provides basic information to the partners for compliance with H2020 guidelines on the visibility of EU funding, as well as with data protection regulations.
