Nartus

Making information available and accessible is a contribution to the consensus building process. The project dissemination activities were conceived so as to enable project partners and/or stakeholders to issue and circulate their deliverables in a well organized way and to get their reaction in due time to other WPs contributions. Thus, the PSCE Forum enables fluent communication between the users (citizens/authorities), regulatory bodies and industry and allow this exchange to be continuously available to the system developers and standardization bodies.

Activities to disseminate the project inputs and outputs of the Forum include conferences, electronic forums linked to the project website, the editing and issuing of the conference reports, of regular news and of a newsletter to be posted on the website as well as all other documents of interest (a “who’s who” newsletter of stakeholders in Public Safety Communication, results of studies but also of meetings reflecting the project progress). The complete list of dissemination activities carried on by the project can be seen here.
