Managers being responsible for dissemination and/or communication in FP6 projects have formed their own network (COMMNET) to improve their communication skills and to help and assist each other in the day to day problems with colleagues, peers and stakeholders.
COMMNET was established in early 2005 based on an initiative from the NoE CASCADE. It is an informal network and started with Communicators from about 15 different IPs and NoEs. Later, more projects have been added, and the network now counts more than 20 FP6 projects supported by DG Research’s Food Quality and Safety Programme. COMMNET aims to share best practice to improve communication of EU research.
