The first milestone of RUN-EU 2.0 has been reached with the creation of the Central Communications Office (CCO).

The CCO has been set up to achieve the goals of the Communication, Dissemination and Impact Work Package (WP7) and is based at the Polytechnic University of Leiria (IPLeiria).

It is composed of the WP7 Leader (IPLeiria), the Co-Leaders (the University of Burgos (UBU) and the Howest University of Applied Sciences) and the Digital Content and Design Manager (IPLeiria), and will meet monthly online and once a year in person.

The CCO will oversee the development, implementation and review of the Communication and Dissemination Strategy. It will also manage the communication platform and channels, coordinate and monitor the implementation of the annual C&D plan, manage the implementation and monitoring of the Data Management Plan (DMP) and ensure the internal communication flow for the dissemination activities of all WPs.
