In particular, this document is an update of the D6.1 Dissemination and Communication Plan presented in M4 of the project and defines the strategy, activities and tools that the SKILLBILL project use to disseminate and communicate the project results with the wider public. It should be noted that effective dissemination and communication activities are of great importance for the SKILLBILL project as they pave the way for the successful use and "take-up' of the project results (EU Master, green portal, policy proposals, etc.) during and after the completion of the project. The SKILLBILL consortium is therefore committed to continuously revise and refine the dissemination and communication plan and measures to ensure effective dissemination and communication of the project. The current document has undergone updates based on the consortium's experience gained during the first half of the project, specifically focusing on: • Dissemination and communication strategy; • SKILLBILL’s promotional video; • Newsletter; • Social media accounts (SMAs); • Internal and External events and conferences; • Networks and synergies; • Monitoring and evaluation (updated). These sections have been revised and adjusted, incorporating insights and lessons learned from the initial stages of the SKILLBILL project. In particular, the report is structured as follows: Chapter 1: An introduction to the DCP and its goals. Chapter 2: A brief description of the SKILLBILL project. Chapter 3: The overview of the Dissemination and Communication (D&C) Strategy and its objectives. Chapter 4: The target audience and the respective key messages for the identified stakeholders. Chapter 5: The tools and channels used to disseminate and communicate the project’s activities and results to the identified targeted stakeholders. (updated) Chapter 6: This section describes the roles and responsibilities of the dissemination manager and the consortium partners for the successful deployment of the D&C strategy. Chapter 7: The importance of establishing synergies with other relevant projects and networks throughout the duration of the project is elaborated in this chapter. (updated) Chapter 8: This section outlines the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that will be used for the evaluation of the dissemination efforts and will permit us to adopt the best practices to increase project’s impact. In addition, the reporting process regarding the dissemination activities is also described. (updated) D6.1: Dis semination and Communication Plan (upd ated version), 29/02/2024 Page 2 Chapter 9: The timeline of the four different stages for the implementation of the project’s dissemination activities is briefly described in this section. All partners are expected to actively participate and contribute to the implementation of the dissemination activities, according to the project’s dissemination and communication strategy. White Research (WR), as project Dissemination and Communication Manager, leading all respective activities, closely monitors the respective actions described in this document while providing all necessary support. The DCP, the guidelines and templates, as well as the Annexes (Table 1) included in this report will be subject to updates in line with the project’s progress. The experience and lessons learnt throughout the implementation of the project permit us to update and modify the strategy – when needed – to be tailored to the needs of our vision. Table 1. List of DC plan annexes Annex Name Description #1 Dissemination and communication guidelines This is a document, circulated among the consortium, that highlights important aspects of the dissemination and communication activities. #2 Dissemination and communication reporting template This is the template that all partners need to update on a monthly basis with information about all the dissemination and communication activities. #3 Internal conferences and events reporting template The document that all partners need to fill in after the organisation or their participation in an event. #4 External conferences and events reporting template This is a template that partners should send to WR when an interesting relevant event or conference is identified. During the 1st half of the project, SKILLBILL effectively communicated with a considerable number of stakeholders (1290 by M18). The metrics reveal that more than half of the stakeholders reached during the co-creation and working groups phase belonged to scientific community and industry. The analysis of metrics also highlights the three most successful dissemination channels so far: (i) participation in external events, (ii) sharing results through the SKILLBILL website and social media, and (iii) by publishing the official promotional video. The assessment of engagement activities in this report makes it clear that SKILLBILL’s consortium has successfully increased awareness among the targeted stakeholders. Continuous efforts and ongoing monitoring of activities are essential to uphold this momentum and achieve the goals of the DCP in the second half of the project. D6.1: Dis semination and Communication Plan (upd ated version), 29/02/2024 Page 9 Target audiences and key messages SKILLBILL’s target audiences The primary goal of dissemination and communication activities is to circulate information about the project's vision, its results, and solutions, thereby maximizing the project's impact. As a result, it is critical to define the target groups to whom the D&C plan is directed. The main stakeholder groups, expected to be reached over the project’s duration, are illustrated in Figure 2. In terms of the relevance of their field of action, these are deemed to be the most appropriate for SKILLBILL. As seen, these target groups represent a diverse range of professions , as well as distinct interactions with the sustainable energy sector and renewable energy sources. Particularly, SKILLBILL aims to engage a wide variety of stakeholders with different backgrounds and experiences. In particular the project’s primary targets are: 1. Academic community (professors, BSc & MSc students, PhD candidates, etc.) 2. Scientific community (RES experts, engineers, ecologists, STEM experts, etc.) 3. Policy Makers (local / national / EU policy makers in energy, environment, climate change etc.) 4. Energy authorities and associations (national energy associations, sector organisations e.g. bioenergy / hydrogen / solar, regulatory authorities etc.) 5. Civil society (consumers, local community, general public etc.) 6. NGOs (citizen’s initiatives, national and EU level climate and energy organisations etc) 7. RES Industry 8. Technology providers Figure 2. SKILLBILL target audiences D6.1: Dis semination and Communication Plan (upd ated version), 29/02/2024 Page 10 9. SMEs 10. Vulnerable groups (women of all ages, profession and educational level, elderly people, people of low socioeconomic status) During the project’s lifespan, it remains important to classify them to better prioritise and fine-tune our engagement efforts. To this aim, the Stakeholders Classification Model 2 will be used in order to classify each targeted stakeholder group based on the following parameters: • The extent of a stakeholder’s power/authority; • The stakeholder’s interest regarding the outcomes of the project; • The extent of the stakeholder’s active involvement in the project; • The level of stakeholder’s influence over the project planning and/or outcomes. The stakeholder groups and subgroups will be extended also during the activities of WP2 | T2.1: “Stakeholder community mapping and user research to better appreciate current training needs and skilling practices”. The classification of the targeted stakeholders’ groups will be used to tailor the communicated messages and adopt the most suitable tools and dissemination channels for each one of the groups. The following figure (Figure 3) depicts the parameters and how they define different types of stakeholder engagement: The D&C strategy aims to reach the above-mentioned identified audiences which were further categorised into the broader SKILLBILL stakeholder groups. An indicative list of identified stakeholders per target group is provided below: 2 Emerson Wagner Mainardes, Helena Alves, Mário Raposo, (2012). “A model for stakeholder classification and stakeholder relationships”, Management Decision, Vol. 50 Issue: 10, pp. 1861-1879.

These messages must be consistent with the project's concept and vision, but they must also be tailored to the needs of the target audiences. This is also the primary reason why different stakeholder groups receive different messages. As mentioned before, the identified target groups were further enriched during T2.1 activities (completed in M9 – D2.1). For the same reason, the messages delivered during SKILLBILL are subject to change and constantly optimized based on experience and monitoring of dissemination results. Table 4.

Gender Issues The dissemination strategy of SKILLBILL targets all genders equally. Gender-neutral language is used in all communication and dissemination materials of the project throughout its implementation. Promoting STEM pathways among women is one of the main focuses of the SKILLBILL project. To achieve this, inclusiveness and precise gender equality stand at the core of the SKILLBILL project. The consortium addresses sex, gender, and equality issues early in the proposal phase. During the implementation stage, reducing the gender gap in STEM remains a primary focus of the SKILLBILL project. The consortium ensures respect for gender equality and prevents discrimination based on a person's gender during the project’s activities. Identification and elimination of gender biases, stereotypes, and discrimination in the field are prioritized. SKILLBILL specifically targets the gender gap and aims to eliminate it through various activities, tools, and appropriate language. White Research, particularly in the Communication and Dissemination strategy, pays close attention to this issue to ensure adherence to these principles. Regarding training activities within SKILLBILL, White Research ensures that training and educational activities are promoted to encourage the involvement of women RES scientists and engineers in the future industrial landscape. To monitor progress in this area, the engagement of women in the project’s events, as well as via social media, is being tracked. D6.1: Dis semination and Communication Plan (upd ated version), 29/02/2024 Page 15 Communication and Dissemination tools and channels SKILLBILL’s DCP deploys multiple tools and channels to ensure that activities and outcomes reach a wide array of stakeholders and contribute to promoting effective and robust sustainability certification schemes and labels.

White Research (WR) was responsible for the graphic design and the content, while the consortium partners offered feedback throughout the development process. The material is freely available to the public through the project’s website (online for download) and for partners to print it when needed. The material is used during physical activities (including external and internal project’s events) to attract and engage relevant stakeholders and give more information on the project’s mission and objectives. All the promotional material was designed based on the project’s unique identity that is presented in the following paragraph. SKILLBILL’s Logo The project logo, in conjunction with the general graphic elements and the aesthetic concept, is what distinguishes the project and serves as the foundation for the further development of the entire promotion package (e.g. leaflets, posters, infographics, newsletters, deliverables, social media, webportal, publications, publicity for internal and external events, etc.) that is used in all dissemination and communications activities. During M1, the project partners were invited to participate in an online voting during kick-off meeting for the project’s logo, where a variety of logo options were presented to them. Figure 5 illustrates the logo which received the majority of the votes. D6.1: Dis semination and Communication Plan (upd ated version), 29/02/2024 Page 18 The design of the logo represents RES, education, nature, sustainability and gender balance. The white network that appears inside the green leaf represents the stakeholder community engagement. The person with the hat touching the network represents education and knowledge sharing. The circle with the arrow and the plus icon represents gender equality and the wind turbine in the centre symbolizes renewable energy sources. The colour palette (Figure 6) combines shades of greens which are basic colours for sustainability, green solutions and innovation. The SKILLBILL logo should be visible to all the communication material produced in the framework of the project (presentation, deliverables etc.). Similarly, the EU funding should be properly acknowledged, and the EU emblem should also be properly depicted in all communication material. F i g u r e S E Q F i g u r e \ * A R A B I C 5 .

SKILLBILL's QR code D6.1: Dis semination and Communication Plan (upd ated version), 29/02/2024 Page 27 Digital presence Gradually, more people choose to get informed through digital communication channels. To better communicate its messages, SKILLBILL is focused on building a strong online presence in multiple digital platforms aiming to reach as many and diverse stakeholders as possible. In particular SKILLBILL has created: (i) a weekly updated website; (ii) bi-annual newsletters; (iii) various SMAs. SKILLBILL’s website The development of a project website is a crucial step in the dissemination process, since having a functional and user-friendly website boosts SKILLBILL's exposure and impact by presenting the vision, actions, strategies, and progress of the project to a wider audience. An initial version of the SKILLBILL web-portal was launched by M4 (December 2022) of the project, serving as an online platform for informing the public and stakeholders, as well as facilitating communication with the consortium. Since then, we have been updating the website with news and feeds as well as with information related to the project’s progress (e.g. Stakeholder Joint Initiative, European Master, Green Portal). 3 The website's architecture (Figure 19) and content is configured to be useful, to fully display the content, object, and actions of SKILLBILL, but also to contain relevant information on project progress, publications resulting from it, and event announcements. The website is featuring all project results, the promotional materials, project deliverables, as well as other helpful information and links, in addition to the fundamental information about the project's content and vision. Thus, the website not only accurately reflects the work that is done and will be done on the project, but it also introduces the visitor to the field of renewable energy sources required to reach a carbon-neutral Europe. Therefore, all partners are expected to supply the relevant material for the content of the 3 The website’s URL is as follows: http://www.skillbill-project.eu/ and project’s contact email is [email protected] Figure 19. SKILLBILL's website architecture D6.1: Dis semination and Communication Plan (upd ated version), 29/02/2024 Page 28 SKILLBILL’s website development, maintenance and updates. In that way, the website will not only keep visitors up to date on SKILLBILL’s actions and results but will also inform them about what is planned during the project. The website was built using WordPress, with a focus on ensuring responsiveness and accessibility. Special care was taken to make the site compatible with different devices, including mobile ones, to avoid excluding potential visitors.

This tools provides valuable statistics that support us in optimizing SKILLBILL’s website and DC strategy. More specific metrics, also monitored as part of SKILLBILL’s DC plan, are presented in the next sections. Dissemination KPI Target (M36) Current Status (M18) Website/Green Portal visits ≥15,000 Green Portal: 6204 Website: 7946 Overall, SKILLBILL’s website and Green Portal have attracted the interest of diverse stakeholder groups worldwide, as illustrated by the growing number of users and visitors. As of the composition the updated version of D6.1 in January-February 2024, SKILLBILL’s website and Green Portal have over 14.000 visits. The highlighted visibility of the SKILLBILL website can be attributed to several factors, including: (i) The weekly updates featuring project and external news, events related to project’s progress, internal events, participation in external events, and general updates on renewable energy and sustainability sectors. (ii) The provision of high-quality information on renewable energy sources, greeneducation. Skilling-upskilling-reskilling through project’s public deliverables. (iii) Linkage to project's social media accounts by disseminating website articles on these. (iv) Wide distribution through engagement and research activities, such as incorporating the website QR code in project presentations and promotional material. Newsletter A bi-annual newsletter is produced within the framework of the project and distributed among the project’s community, thus shared with the project’s target audience and posted on the project’s website. Each newsletter offers a recap of the project’s advancements and activities, offering an additional way to update existing subscribers on the project’s outcomes. Additionally, the newsletter functions as a way to engage and keep stakeholders informed, particularly those not active on social media or citizens who may not have shown significant interest in the project during its early stages. The newsletter engages an audience who are not familiar with social media and keeps stakeholders constantly updated about the project. The newsletter, among other things, includes updates on the progress of the project, introduces the project’s concept, and disseminates upcoming project events and activities. White Research is responsible for releasing the newsletter but, prior to publishing every newsletter, all partners are asked to provide their feedback and insights from the task and activities they lead. Mailchimp is used for the development and distribution of the newsletter. Although the content of each issue is agreed upon by the partners, in general, each newsletter includes the following sections: • An introductory section briefly describing the SKILLBILL project and two project partners in each newsletter, along with their roles in the project. • Progress updates detailing what has happened in the project, including news of project progress, project meetings, and important milestones. D6.1: Dis semination and Communication Plan (upd ated version), 29/02/2024 Page 41 As of February 29, 2024, SKILLBILL has gathered 1410 tweet impressions and engaged with 30 followers on Twitter. Twitter has proven to be a valuable tool, helping us reach a broader audience by sharing news, updates on upcoming events, and highlights of project activities in a short and simple way. It also serves as a platform for monitoring and participating in interesting conversations on other Twitter accounts, actively contributing to the expansion of SKILLBILL’s visibility and network. LinkedIn LinkedIn has become an incredibly effective communication tool, especially for connecting with a professional audience. Over the past year and a half, we have used this platform to create and share more than 110 posts, strategically promoting our project to a target audience. Our project's profile on LinkedIn, located in M2, serves as a hub to present comprehensive project details and constantly update our audience on the project's progress. We specifically chose LinkedIn to target a more professional audience that aligns with the goals of the project. WR team continuously encourages SKILLBILL partners to actively support the LinkedIn profile of our project by inviting followers and participating in discussions. The SKILLBILL page itself has a more institutional character and promotes professional dialogue on topics of common interest, increasing the visibility of the project. We are aware of the importance of analyses in the evaluation of performance. To this end, we use the metrics and insights provided by LinkedIn to measure the impact of the project and refine our communication strategy accordingly. LinkedIn is not just a platform, but an important tool to foster meaningful connections, increase engagement and measure the reach of our project in the professional community. As of February 29, 2024, SKILLBILL has connected with 687 followers on LinkedIn, gaining more than 47,000 impressions. By using LinkedIn, SKILLBILL can stay informed about renewable energy sector developments and take part in professional discussions on topics of shared interest across Figure 38. SKILLBILL's LinkedIn page. D6.1: Dis semination and Communication Plan (upd ated version), 29/02/2024 Page 42 various professional networks. This channel is anticipated to further enhance the project's visibility among stakeholders interested in taking part in renewable energy education and the skillingreskilling-upskilling concept. YouTube Channel The last established channel which was also created on M2 is YouTube. The project’s channel is used to increase the visibility of the project through videos. In particular, the promotional video of the project, which was published on M15, is uploaded in SKILLBILL’s YouTube channel to raise awareness around the project and promoted using all project’s social media account. The SKILLBILL YouTube channel is focused on presenting the project’s actions and especially the results. Besides the video, the channel’s aim is to build a strong online community through the connection with other channels of EU funded projects. As of the writing of this report in February 2024, SKILLBILL’s YouTube channel had 11 subscribers, while the promotional video had a total of 175 views. The overall progress of SKILLBILL social media followers up to M18 is presented in the following table. Table 9. Overview of SKILLBILL's social media KPIs.

M36 To be scheduled Workshops/Promotional activities Completed and ongoing events and promotional activities Digital Co-creation Workshop (T2.2) Q-PLAN organized the Digital Co-Creation Workshop on June 24th2023. The workshop was organized with the support of all partners, where diverse group of 32 participants, including external stakeholders, experts on renewable energy across the quadruple helix, advisory board members, and consortium partners, came together with a shared vision of advancing renewable energy. The results of the workshop were documented and delivered in the dedicated D2.2. report (read the full report here). The primary focus of the workshop was to establish four thematic working groups, each with a unique emphasis on critical aspects of the renewable energy sector. These working groups will serve as collaborative hubs, facilitating the exchange of ideas and expertise among experts and enthusiasts alike, and their Focus is summarized in: 1. Sustainable and Renewable Electricity & Skills Gap impacting its full deployment potential. 2. Sustainable Mobility & Skills Gap impacting its full deployment potential. 3. Sustainable and Renewable Heat & Skills Gap impacting its full deployment potential. 4. Sustainable and Renewable Fuels & Skills Gap impacting its full deployment potential. With the formation of these strategic working groups, we aim to harness the collective intelligence of industry professionals and specialists. Their valuable insights will guide us in navigating the challenges and opportunities within the renewable energy landscape. Figure 40. Snapshot's of SKILLBILL's digital co-creation workshop under T2.2 D6.1: Dis semination and Communication Plan (upd ated version), 29/02/2024 Page 45 WR promoted the report through SKILLBILL social media accounts and the newsletter. During the preparation and implementation stage of the workshops, WR assisted through dissemination actions, such as posting on social media, inviting key stakeholders, etc. European Specialization Program promotional activity (T4.6) Promotional activities aim to inform potential students about the course's existence and related opportunities (e.g., internships and stages). To achieve this goal, WR implemented a dedicated page on the project website along with targeted info that was added on each partner's institutional website. In terms of dissemination and communication activities, social media and traditional communication channels were used to this purpose. WR uploaded the relevant material prepared by UniTus with the help of MET, USE, UU on the project's website and promotes it on social media accounts. WR also provides any other necessary help through dissemination actions, such as posting on social media and inviting key stakeholders, etc. Specialization Program’s syllabus was also uploaded on SKILLBILL’s website together (read the full Syllabus here) with program’s promotional material. Figure 41.European Specialization Program Promotional Material D6.1: Dis semination and Communication Plan (upd ated version), 29/02/2024 Page 46 Future events and promotional activities SKILLBILL’s next Working Groups (T2.3) The upcoming rounds of Working Groups (WGs) are poised to further support our endeavors towards fostering regulatory shifts and offering valuable recommendations. Scheduled for May 2024, the second set of four online WG meetings will be dedicated to meticulously crafting strategies aimed at delivering impactful regulatory changes. Following this, in November 2024, the third set of four online WG meetings will aim to develop comprehensive guidelines tailored for education and training programs. Moreover, this period will also include a pivotal plenary meeting aiming to highlight these discussion, inviting experts from all four WGs to synthesize collective insights and create a path forward. Through these strategic activities, SKILLBILL aims not only to harness the expertise of its stakeholders but also to bring up advancements in regulatory frameworks and educational practices. Mobilisation and Mutual Learning (MML) Workshops (T2.4) In line with the work of the Working Groups under Task 2.3 and building on their outputs, a series of Mobilisation and Mutual Learning (MML) workshops will be organized by PC. The workshops will utilize a co-creative bottom-up approach to collect suggestions, recommendations, and ideas for further improving the outputs of the working groups. During these workshops, the experiences and results of WP2, WP4, and WP5 will be shared and discussed to produce actionable knowledge that could improve our work, all while raising awareness and stimulating the practical application in different contexts by the participating stakeholders. During the preparation and implementation stages of the workshops, WR will deploy dissemination and stakeholder engagement tools for that, such as press releases, website news, SMAs posts, etc. Final dissemination event (T6.2) The SKILLBILL’s Final Conference will be organised by WR close to the end of SKILLBILL with the support of all partners, to spread accumulated knowledge and present final achievements to RPOs, RFOs, policy makers and broadly to all interested parties. To maximise the outreach of this event, we will seek to organise it as a satellite event at a larger international event (e.g., European Science Engagement Conference) and/or in collaboration with one or more sister projects. It must be underlined that the above mentioned working groups, workshops and conferences are an essential part of the SKILLBILL’s DC Plan. The organisers of the abovementioned events are required to fill in a template (i.e., Event Reporting Template) in which they will present the main communication and/or dissemination action(s) that took place. External events and conferences The participation of the consortium partners in external events, conferences, and exhibitions is an opportunity for the project to approach a wider audience with a variety of backgrounds. Throughout the duration of SKILLBILL, the partners continuously participate in external events with the aim of: • Presenting SKILLBILL's concept; • Keeping in touch with the latest developments in the field; • Disseminating the knowledge gathered during SKILLBILL; • Developing relationships with stakeholders; • Promoting the activities and results of the project; • Overall raising awareness. D6.1: Dis semination and Communication Plan (upd ated version), 29/02/2024 Page 47 To ensure uniformity and common aesthetics of the project's presentations and means of communication, consortium partners, have at their disposal the leaflet, the poster, the template for the slides, and for the publications. In all these project's dissemination and communication tools, the same colors will be chosen, and the project logo will be prominently included. Presentations made at external events and intended to highlight SKILLBILL’s concept, goals & events must use the specific templates, and their content must be sent to White Research and AzzeroCO2 at least 5 working days before the event. An indicative list of identified conferences and events is provided in Table 11. SKILLBILL’s project coordinator, Azzero, participated at: 1. European Sustainable Energy Week 2023; 2.

These publications are among the most valuable assets of the project because they reveal and secure the new education and training practices that will be generated as a result of SKILLBILL to deeply engage and educate stakeholders in sustainable energy & renewable energy sources. According to the dissemination strategy, at least 5 scientific / generalist papers should be published. In addition to these, partners may propose any other publication that will help to display and promote the project's results. An indicative list of scientific Journals can be found below: Table 13. Indicative list of pre-selected scientific journals for SKILLBILL publications Journal Impact Factor Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews 15.9 Sustainable Cities and Society 12.9 Energy Research and Social Science 8.29 Environmental Innovation and Societal Transitions 7.2 Sustainability 3.9 International Journal of Sustainability in Higher Education 3.68 D6.1: Dis semination and Communication Plan (upd ated version), 29/02/2024 Page 50 Roles and responsibilities All the members of the consortium play a key role in SKILLBILL's communication activities, in order to fulfil the goals and objectives set by the D&C plan and, thus, to achieve its optimal functioning. The participation and contribution of partners directly affect project's development, such as the activities, results, and overall progress, which will be promoted through dissemination activities and communication tools. Therefore, partners will keep on assisting and supporting SKILLBILL’s online presence during the second half of the project, both by providing appropriate material for social media and website posts, and by promoting the posts in order to gain more followers who will stay informed about SKILLBILL's actions and results. Furthermore, partners are continuously encouraged to support the project's wider promotion by attending relevant events/conferences and publishing in online and offline publications (e.g. websites, newspapers, magazines etc.). At the end of each project month, all partners are expected fill out the Dissemination Reporting template to present the main dissemination and communication actions they carried out during the month (Annex 2). The organizing of events, taking part in events, informal gatherings, interviews, communication campaigns (such as newsletter distribution, leaflet distribution, etc.), publishing, training, and other activities are examples of dissemination acts included in this template. In addition to the Dissemination Reporting template, partners are asked to complete the Conferences and Events templates (Annex 3 & 4) for each event they either organised or participated in, presenting the main dissemination actions that occurred in that specific event in order to track all the events in timely manner. All partners’ responsibilities and expected activities are summarised in the following table. Table 14. Partner's responsibilities Activity Partners’ responsibility Online ➔ Provide content for the website, SMAs and the newsletter (The contribution could be a suggestion for a Facebook or Twitter post, an article regarding the project or a relevant topic of the sector, or an interview). The goals are to ensure a constant flow of content around the project’s actions and keep our online presence active and useful for the relevant stakeholders. ➔ Promote the website, SMAs and the newsletter through their network. ➔ Inform the dissemination manager about relevant events or news of the sector that could be used for content creation. Offline ➔ Organise events and raise awareness on the project results and main topics. ➔ Disseminate the promotional material of the project (leaflet, poster, etc.). ➔ All partners through their participation in external events and conferences and through publications for online/ offline sources (websites, newspapers, magazines, etc.) should ensure the widest exposure and dissemination of the project. Reporting All partners must report the carried-out dissemination and communication activities to the dissemination manager. More information for the process will follow in the respective chapter. D6.1: Dis semination and Communication Plan (upd ated version), 29/02/2024 Page 57 Monitoring, Evaluation and Reporting framework Monitoring and KPIs progress evaluation Monitoring The implementation of the dissemination & communication plan is monitored throughout the whole project in terms of the consistency of what is foreseen and the corresponding results. The continuous evaluation of dissemination activities allows for the monitoring and quantitative assessment of the impact of actions. Thus, deviations from the original plan can be visible on time, and necessary changes are made to continuously increase the project's visibility and dissemination of its results. WR is in charge of monitoring and evaluating SKILLBILL’s dissemination activities, but the project consortium is expected to work collaboratively, being aware of their activities and results at all times. A set of KPIs were selected to evaluate the impact of the DCP activities (Table 18). Of course, the metric targets and the needs are continuously adjusted to the project’s results and will be included in the final Dissemination and Communication Plan (M36). The dissemination manager (WR) with the support of the consortium partners will keep track of the quantitative metrics during the reporting periods. In addition, qualitative feedback after the implementation of events will be also requested by the partners to better evaluate the strategy and proceed with modifications if deemed necessary.

Considering that all internet users are overwhelmed by the constant stream of digital information via different channels (e.g. social media and websites), the pace of KPI development for certain KPIS (e.g. number of social media followers and number of views of promotional videos) can seem relatively slow. However, it's crucial to recognize that the effectiveness of dissemination efforts extends beyond the KPI set during the GA phase. Despite the perceived slow KPI’s progression in certain KPIs, alternative indicators shed light on the considerable impact of SKILLBILL's dissemination and communication activities. The joint commitment of the SKILLBILL consortium is constantly extending the reach of the project.If the partners publish new posts on their LinkedIn accounts, for example, the visibility of the project is increased in their respective networks. This domino effect ensures that a wide audience (totalling more than 4000 LinkedIn users from the consortium partners’ accounts) remains informed about SKILLBILL's activities and successes beyond the direct SKILLBILL followers or subscribers. Since the launch of SKILLBILL's LinkedIn account, more than 47000 LinkedIn impressions, 2000 reactions and 160 reposts have already been counted. Moreover, the distribution of promotional materials serves as a tangible touchpoint for individuals who may not actively engage with digital platforms (more than 470 copies were distributed). While they may not be directly connected to SKILLBILL's online channels, exposure to promotional materials cultivates awareness and familiarity with the project's objectives. Similarly, participation in internally organized workshops (e.g. 32 participants in CCW under T2.2); research activities (e.g. 31 interviewees under T2.1) and knowledge-sharing events (e.g. 41 experts of SKILLBILL Working Groups) foster the dissemination of experience gained by project’s activities on a broader scale. Based on this multi-dimensional approach, it's evident that the impact of dissemination and communication efforts goes beyond the KPI metrics agreed at the GA. Although quantitative indicators provide valuable insights, qualitative feedback gathered from events participation, partners’ active engagement through their social media and project’s internal events offer alternative perspectives essential for refining dissemination strategies. Even if the development of the KPIs appears to be gradual, the holistic assessment of SKILLBILL's dissemination landscape emphasises the project's great influence and popularity among its target group. Reporting Keeping track of the dissemination, communication and engagement activities that were carried out by all partners in the framework of the project is fundamental for its successful implementation. Therefore, the reporting and documentation is very important for the DCP. In particular, throughout the duration of the project, all consortium partners should report their dissemination and communication activities on a monthly basis by filling in the template shared by White Research (online in the project’s repository). Each semester (M6, M12, M18, M24, M30, M36) White Research consolidates the results and will develop the semestrial technical reporting of WP6. For keeping track of the activities performed by the consortium partners, three documents have been designed and shared (Annex).

Within 30 days after the implementation of the event Annex IV External conferences and Events template Any external event/conference that it is relevant to our project and with potential benefit to attend Throughout the project (adhoc basis) Dissemination reporting template: This template records all the dissemination and communication activities of the project. The document should be updated monthly by all partners. Keeping track of the activities ensures that any problems or gaps are observed early, and mitigation measures will be put in place in order to be solved. Event reporting template: This template should be filled by all partners whenever they organise or participate in an event (e.g., workshop, conference, meeting etc.). The template should be sent to White Research and AzzeroCO2 no later than 30 days after the implementation of the event. Moreover, the events should be always communicated to White Research and AzzeroCO2 in advance for promotional purposes. The external conferences and Events template: This is a template that facilitates the identification of events (workshops, conferences, webinars) with topics relevant to the SKILLBILL vision. Each partner should fill in this template and send the information to White Research and AzzeroCO2 when identifying any event or conference that could be useful for the consortium (e.g., attend, present etc.). Each project partner should immediately contact White Research and AzzeroCO2, should any risks be identified concerning communication and dissemination activities, or in case problems arise during the implementation of publicity actions. D6.1: Dis semination and Communication Plan (upd ated version), 29/02/2024 Page 60 Timeline and implementation plan To ensure that the timing of dissemination and communication, as well as stakeholder engagement, is effectively implemented, the actions were divided into four phases, as shown in Figure 22. The four stages are listed below: ❖ Early in the project: The Dissemination & Communication strategy was designed, while the targeted stakeholder groups and the key messages of the project were identified. Further, suitable metrics for monitoring the successful implementation of the D&C strategy were also selected. Additionally, the consortium partners were informed about their responsibilities and required contributions in relation to dissemination efforts. Overall, in this phase, our actions are continuously dedicated to the general promotion of the project, emphasizing awareness raising to ensure that the project is widely communicated. In that context, during the first six months of the project, the logo and visual identity were designed along with the project’s website. Further, the social media accounts of the project were launched, and the dissemination material (leaflets, posters, templates, letterhead) were produced. The promotional package is expected to be later enriched with evidence and success stories from the project to communicate its benefits if needed. By month 6, all project tools and channels were developed. Moreover, some first synergies with other relevant projects/initiatives were established. Finally, at this stage, the project was additionally disseminated in networking events in which partners would participate. F i g u r e S E Q F i g u r e \ * A R A B I C Figure 42. Summary of SKILLBILL’S timeline D6.1: Dis semination and Communication Plan (upd ated version), 29/02/2024 Page 61 ❖ During the project: We continue seeking to cluster and cooperate with complementary projects and initiatives relevant to the topic of education and RES. Additionally, an active community interested in the SKILLBILL’s project is continuously established and engaged through the project’s SMAs and website, where the project’s results are shared, while bi-annual newsletters are also released. In addition, SKILLBILL’s promotional video was published during 15. Further, a variety of dissemination events (co-creation and digital workshops, mutual learning workshops, webinars, networking events with sister projects, awareness raising and education events) are scheduled to take place. Finally, the consortium partners are expected to continuously support dissemination efforts by participating in external events and conferences, while leveraging existing platforms, networks and initiatives. ❖ At the end of the project: During this stage, the project’s key results will be further disseminated. The project’s SMAs will remain active to ensure that project’s outcomes are publicised. The milestone of that phase is hosting the final dissemination event of the project in which the project’s results and findings will be presented. ❖ Beyond the end of the project: Consortium partners have agreed to promote and exploit project results even after the project has ended through future activities, new projects, and so on. The main goal is for industries, civil society organisations, governments and policy makers, academia and science and other stakeholders to act as multipliers for project adoption and further promotion. Furthermore, even after the project's official completion, relevant publications will continue to disseminate its legacy.

CCW utilized the Miro voting tool to determine the most prominent topics for discussion. Each proposal was displayed on a digital canvas within Miro, and participants were given the opportunity to cast their votes for the topics they found most compelling and relevant to the WGs’ objectives. As the votes were tallied, the most prominent topics emerged, as presented in the following table, , guiding the WGs in setting their agendas for the upcoming meetings. The democratic nature of the voting process ensured that the final selection of topics truly represented the interests and aspirations of the participants, fostering a sense of ownership. The following topics were identified as the most prominent for discussion. ✓ Solutions for driving the development and adoption of sustainable renewable energy and fuels techs. ✓ Directions for regulatory shifts that help share a favourable environment for sustainable renewable energy and fuels tech diffusion. ✓ Guidelines for education / training programs to facilitate skilling, reskilling and upskilling. ✓ Identification of new jobs and skills required for the shaping of the next generation of sustainable renewable energy and fuels technologies D6.1: Dis semination and Communication Plan (upd ated version), 29/02/2024 Page 74 ANNEX: Attachments - The list of participants (if consent to store and share data was given) - A scanned copy of the list of participants signed by each participant (if possible) - The agenda of the event - Photos (please make sure to have the consent of participants to use them) - Presentations (if applicable) - Copies of materials used to promote the event (e.g., links to press releases, videos, posts, leaflets etc.) The digital co-creation workshop played a pivotal role in evaluating the success and effectiveness of the renewable energy initiatives, empowering the WGs to make informed decisions and drive positive change in the energy sector.

SKILLBILL's External Events & Conferences Reporting Template PARTNER SHORT NAME AZZERO CO2 SRL AzzeroCO2 Q-PLAN INTERNATIONAL ADVISORS PC Q-PLAN WHITE RESEARCH SPRL WR UNIVERSITA DEGLI STUDI DELLA TUSCIA UNITUS UNIVERSIDAD DE SEVILLA USE METROPOLIA AMMATTIKORKEAKOULU OY METROPOLIA UNIVERSITEIT UTRECHT UU EUROPEAN RENEWABLE ENERGIES FEDERATION EREF SINERGIE SOC CONS ARL SINERGIE PEDAL CONSULTING SRO PC The project SKILLBILL’s overall objective is to develop a large and strong foundation for the growth and acceleration of renewable energy’s deployment, thanks to engaging with stakeholders of the whole chain, diffusing scientific culture and skilling multi-level workers. The basic idea underling the project is that the knowledge should be diffused at several different levels and qualitatively appropriate both to train the adequate number of workers and to increase RES awareness and to reach a more social and inclusive Europe. The project aims at creating several pathways to induce target groups to get interested or involved in RES besides their initial level of education and their working position. It’s important, beside the creation of instruments for the upskilling and reskilling of workers, technician and designers, to have awareness modules for unspecific public in order to fight against ignorance, fake news, gender gap and the phenomenon of functional illiteracy: it is widely documented that lifelong suitable learning process is the fundamental driver to support the development, maintenance and update of skills. Thus, SKILLBILL proposes concrete actions to accelerate the deployment of renewable energy at different levels to analyse and involve all the interested parts in open discussion using adequate language; create several different pathways to increase skills after having mapped knowledge gap and without gender prejudice; develop and implement innovative learning method; and evaluate the work performed.
