WP 6 - Dissemination, Technology Transfer and training
WP Leader: Alan H. Schulman (MTT, E-mail: alan.schulman@helsinki.fi)
WP6 aims at providing training in emerging technological approaches, disseminating results, and transferring technology to industry. Training and dissemination comprise two key components of TriticeaeGenome. Training concerns the researchers working in universities, public research institutions, and industry; whereas, dissemination concerns the research community more broadly, as well as the stakeholders, in the application of the methods and technologies developed within TriticeaeGenome.
The objectives for the first 12 months of the project were: 1) to implement the training program, finalize the schedule of training events, and hold the first training course; 2) develop and implement the project website; 3) begin dissemination activities through posters, seminars, and literature. They have all been achieved on time and the TG project has a good visibility internationally and an active network of collaborators. Three new training courses are planned for 2009 and participants outside the TG project are included in each course. The TriticeaeGenome website has been successfully deployed. A total of 47 dissemination events in eight countries were held during the first year, with a total audience of more than 6500 people. Both talks and posters were presented, and a printed brochure was prepared and distributed for the first time during month 10. Potential collaborations with a WheatBiotech project in Argentina were initiated by the coordinator during a twinning workshop organised in Argentina by the EC and the Argentinean ministry of Science.
Training events are open to external collaborators.
