Throughout the project’s duration, public engagement and dissemination have been integral components, ensuring that outcomes have reached not only the scientific community but also industry stakeholders, students, and the broader public. A comprehensive dissemination plan has been developed and regularly updated by all partner institutions, with continuous assessment of research results for commercial relevance. Engagement activities have been strategically aligned with the project’s evolving findings and have included a wide range of formats—from international scientific conferences and industry workshops to science communication events and student outreach—reflecting the consortium’s commitment to transparency, accessibility, and real-world impact.

In total, four relevant stake-holder groups were addressed, including the scientific community, industry, interested public and students (university and high school level).

A dissemination plan was established and regularly updated (all teams). The project outcome was regularly assessed for potential results which could be commercially exploited (all teams). The following dissemination activities, addressing different target groups, were carried out during the project’s duration:
