The Importance of Communication
Communication: why do we do it? In our experience, a private-public partnership yields many unprecedented rewards. In the interest of our current and future partnerships, we must respond to any skepticism. The only way to do so is to ensure transparent communication each and every day: about how the collaboration is proceeding, our day-to-day-work and – most importantly – our results.
The COMBACTE Communications Office is responsible for all external communications on consortium activities. Our mission is to ensure transparency, keep our stakeholders informed, and most importantly showcase the science produced by our consortium.
According to the Horizon 2020 communication, dissemination and exploitation guidelines, “excellent science needs effective communication and dissemination. Bringing research and its outcomes to the attention of non-scientific audiences, scientific peers, potential business partners or policymakers fosters collaboration and innovation. Strategic communication and dissemination will help to explain the wider societal relevance of science, build support for future research and innovation funding, ensure uptake of results within the scientific community, and open up potential business opportunities for novel products or services. Overall, it helps to increase the impact of research and innovation in many ways” – The European IPR Helpdesk
The COMBACTE Website
Details for each project are provided: study set-up, a complete list of participants and individual study dashboards showing current up-to-date study progress. Noteworthy developments and interim results can be found in study-specific updates. Influencers and key people in our network are showcased in blogs and interviews. There is also an extensive publication library including all publications generated by our consortium, press releases, posters and presentations.
Newsletter
To make sure you don’t miss a thing, we send out a monthly newsletter detailing the month’s most significant developments. This includes study updates, publications, upcoming events and messages from the management boards and top enrollers.
Social Media
If you follow us on Twitter and LinkedIn, you are guaranteed to stay up to the minute on the latest developments – not through hastily dashed-off tweets and posts, but with high-quality study news content. When a new study update has been published or an event has been announced, you will know about it instantly – no need to wait for the newsletter to be published.
COMBACTE Video
It can be quite a challenge to explain a complex project such as COMBACTE, and all the studies, partners and activities it encompasses. To address this, there is a brief informational video available, in which COMBACTE is introduced: our origins, partnerships and funding, and the work that we do.
Magazine
Our magazine offers a unique cross-section of the entire project, within-depth interviews with new partners, progress reports on studies and candid testimonials from the field. It contains a rich selection of articles that provide a quick insight into various stakeholders, backgrounds and relevant developments.
