The European Commission is inviting applications to enhance the dissemination and exploitation of project results in order to maximise their impact across sectors and stakeholders.
The action focuses on optimising the operational framework for dissemination and exploitation (D&E), identifying adopter types and creating a taxonomy of their needs, supporting projects in implementing D&E activities, developing a delivery plan with monitoring and evaluation metrics, executing stakeholder-driven actions including events, establishing tools and a dedicated results platform, ensuring sustainability of the framework, addressing security and strategic autonomy considerations, and producing a comprehensive database of programme results across objectives and implementing bodies.
This initiative aims to strengthen the overall impact of the Digital Europe Programme by improving how project results are shared, accessed, and utilised. It builds upon existing programme-level dissemination and exploitation efforts and enhances them through structured, strategic, and practical approaches. As the programme enters a phase where many projects are delivering tangible outcomes, emphasis is placed on ensuring these results reach relevant stakeholders and are effectively adopted.
With a funding amount of €1,800,000.00, the opportunity is open to legal entities, both public and private, established in eligible countries, including EU Member States, associated countries, and certain non-EU countries. Applicants must register in the Participant Register and undergo validation. Natural persons are generally not eligible, except for self-employed individuals without separate legal personality.
International organisations are not eligible unless they qualify as organisations of European interest. Entities without legal personality may participate under specific conditions, and EU bodies cannot be part of the consortium, with limited exceptions. Financial capacity checks will normally be carried out for all beneficiaries, except for public bodies or international organisations, and in cases where the individual requested grant amount does not exceed EUR 60,000, while such checks may also be applied to affiliated entities if required.
