An upcoming online training aims to equip Horizon Europe project teams with practical tools to turn their Dissemination, Exploitation and Communication (DEC) strategies into powerful engines for visibility, engagement and long-term success.
The webinar, titled “Mastering DEC Strategy & Activities”, is organised by WIT Berry, a communication consultancy specialising in EU research and innovation projects. It will take place on 6 and 8 May 2025, from 11:00 to 13:00 CET, via Webex.
Led by communication strategist Linda Kimeisa, the two-part webinar offers a hands-on approach to building and activating effective DEC strategies that serve both consortium goals and stakeholder needs — from project start to beyond its official end.
“A well-executed DEC strategy is not just a reporting requirement. It’s one of the most powerful tools to amplify project impact, ensure uptake, and build lasting value,” says Linda Kimeisa, who brings over a decade of experience in Horizon Europe communication and digital strategy.

The training is designed for Horizon Europe coordinators, work package leaders, communication managers and researchers. Key topics include:
