1 ADALAM DISSEMINATION PLAN STRATEGY

According to the European Commission, dissemination refers to the process of making the results and

deliverables of a project available to the stakeholders and to the wider audience. Dissemination is

essential for take-up, and take-up is crucial for the success of the project and for the sustainability of

outputs in the long term1.

This document presents the initial dissemination plan, elaborated with the aim of ensuring the

broadest impact of ADALAM on the various stakeholders’ communities, rising awareness and

stimulating the interest around the project, with particular focus on the technical communities. It

explains what has already been achieved, which activities are ongoing and what is planned for the

upcoming months.

The proposed strategy outlines specific guidelines for the dissemination activities and consists of the

following 5 core components:

Figure 1: Dissemination strategy components

In this initial dissemination, we describe and organize the activities in order to promote the widest

dissemination of knowledge from the project among all potential stakeholders - in line with the

ADALAM dissemination strategy.

In addition to the dissemination activities described in details in this document - at a more advanced

stage of the project development – we also intend to maximize the project impact in the market and

enhance the commercial exploitation potential of the project results in the near future, by drawing a

collective Business Plan. This will be elaborated based on the results of the validated business model

information collected and will provide a crucial contribution in assessing the sustainability and

exploiting ADALAM outcomes. The Business Plan will be further developed and detailed separately in

the next months.

1.1 Consortium responsibilities

Although CARSA is the leader of the dissemination and exploitation strategy of ADALAM, all members

of the consortium will contribute to the dissemination activities and will be “ambassadors” for the

project, helping amplify and multiply the message.

In order to ensure the widest possible dissemination, all consortium members will commit themselves

to:

identifying dissemination opportunities (e.g. events, conferences, etc.);

participating and/or giving presentations in relevant fairs and conferences;

publishing papers;

making use of social media,

networking and similar activities.

The most relevant events identified by the consortium are presented in section 2.4 of this document.

1.2 Dissemination purpose

While some details of the dissemination strategy proposed during the proposal preparation will be

redefined while progressing through research, the dissemination goals and objectives should be clear

from the very beginning of the project.

The main goal of ADALAM dissemination effort is to deliver convincing evidence and enhance visibility

of the benefits and applications of the use of adaptive ultra-short pulsed laser based manufacturing

systems in the technical communities.

Throughout the implementation of ADALAM dissemination strategy we expect to multiply the impact

of the project results and the exploitation potential of its final products.

1.3 Target Audience

The target audience of the ADALAM project can roughly be divided into two groups. The first group is

interested in the technical developments and results, and the second group consists of the general

public and policy makers that want to know why and how public funded research is useful.

The first group can be divided in potential future industrial users of the technology and the scientific

community that is interested in the research conducted in ADALAM. These groups will be discussed in

more detail below.




Industrial Users

The most important target audience is the group of potential industrial users (and buyers) of the

developed technology. This group should already be informed about the project in an early stage,

although the results will not be commercially available on short term. This however gives the time to

identify and communicate about potential applications, which will help to better understand market

needs and technical requirements.

To identify this audience of potentially interested industrial customers, we first define the exploitable

result in more detail.

Within ADALAM several different exploitable results can be identified, which each address a specific

target audience. The most obvious result will be the adaptive ultrashort pulse laser micromachining

system, in which all developments of the ADALAM project are integrated. Results that contribute to

this system but that can also be exploited individually are the

low coherence interferometry solution developed by IPT, Demcon and Focal.

scanning lens developed by Sill

ultrashort pulse laser developed by JDSU

calibration method developed by Unimetrik

adaptive laser processes developed by Lightmotif

advanced pointcloud analysis developed by DATAPIXEL

In this first version of the dissemination plan we focus on the adaptive laser micromachining solution

combined with the applications that will be developed, because the target audience for other results

have a large overlap, and because in this stage of the project it is too early to show actual specific

results. The dissemination activities will focus on communicating the idea and goal of the project,

which can best be done based on the integrated solution and the applications that are targeted. In a

later stage more specific target audiences can be identified and addressed.

The demand for adaptive laser micromachining can be identified in various markets such as (mobile)

consumer electronics, medical devices, automotive, semiconductor, and high-tech equipment. In

principle any company using micro-manufacturing could potentially be facing problems that can

benefit from adaptive laser processes.

The ADALAM project will therefore first target a broad industrial community, by presenting the idea

of adaptive laser micromachining and highlighting the applications that are to be developed within the

project. The project targets a technical audience, such as production and product engineers. They are

aware of their production problems or future needs, and they can easily understand how adaptive

laser micromachining could help. Getting in touch with these specialists and learning about their needs

will help us to understand technical requirements and also helps to identify key markets.

Once the specific applications have been developed and we better understand their capabilities, more

specific groups can be identified and targeted.

Scientific community

In ADALAM research and development will be conducted for

the design of the improved inline topography measurement system

the development of adaptive laser processes and

development of calibration methods.




Scientific communities that will be targeted are the ones that are linked to sensors and metrology, and

to laser microprocessing.

1.4 Key Messages

To trigger interest from potential future industrial users the most important capabilities of the adaptive

laser micromachining system should be communicated in such way, that users can understand if the

ADALAM technology could help to solve their problems in micro-fabrication, or can help to improve

their future products. We group the capabilities of the system into three categories:

laser micromilling with accurate depth control,

initial measurements for workpiece calibration or detection of deviations,

integrated quality control.

The results of this project will make it possible to develop applications that need (one of) the above-

mentioned capabilities. We have to communicate that for a new application, a new process has to be

developed using the technology developed in ADALAM as a basis.

Once we have obtained results and know the capabilities of the developed technology, the key

messages could be made more specific. The key messages that we can now use for each of the

capabilities are listed below.

Accurate depth control

By performing measurements during laser pocket milling, any process or material deviation can be

compensated for, which is especially beneficial for machining deep pockets with tight depth

tolerances.

Initialization measurements

Before machining, the surface topography or position of a workpiece can be accurately determined.

This can be used for accurate 3D calibration of the workpiece position, or for detection of deviations

that can be compensated for during the machining process.

Integrated quality control

Topography data acquisition and advanced geometry measurements can be performed after laser

machining to validate the machined product geometry.

1.5 Methods & Tools

A successful dissemination strategy relies upon the selection of dissemination methods and

sophisticated tools which are better suited to achieving the project purpose, promoting the project

messages and outcomes, raising awareness among the target audience and facilitating the

engagement of other potential stakeholders.




Overall, the methodology builds on the following steps, carefully covered along this document.

1. Clear definition of dissemination goals, messages and identification of target audience

identifying these elements is crucial for the success of the dissemination strategy.

2. Selection of relevant communication channels, dissemination tools and activities

Once defined the purpose, messages and target groups, the way in which these messages will

be delivered determine the variety of tools and activities which better contribute to achieving

the goals.

3. Continuous monitoring and evaluation of the overall dissemination effort

The appropriate methodology and measurable criteria to rate the success of the dissemination

should be accurately selected and dissemination gaps analyzed and addressed.

Figure 2: Methodology steps

Based on the outlined approach, our consortium has carefully identified a set of tools which ensure

the highest level of reach and impact of dissemination activities. These tools will be described in details

in the next chapter (Relevant Communication Channels).

1.6 Dissemination Schedule

Developing a sound dissemination plan is a key part of the project planning process and needs to be

planned well in advance in order to maximize its benefits. In particular, a successful and effective

dissemination plan must incorporate a schedule that considers the specific project timeframe and the

various actions and deliverables foreseen.

The following structured and logical schedule was defined during the preparation phase and then

discussed at the kick-off meeting.

2 RELEVANT COMMUNICATION CHANNELS

As previously introduced in this document, our consortium has identified a set of key communication

tools considering in particular their relevance and dissemination potential.

We propose to exploit the following channels:

Online communication channels (i.e. ADALAM website, social media)

Written communication channels (i.e. press release, leaflet, poster)

Face-to-face communication channels (i.e. presentations, conferences, seminars, etc.)




A central element of ADALAM’s identity is its logo. Together with the logo of the European Commission

- that clearly states the project is funded under H2020 - the project logo will be used in all promotional

material, including both online channels and printed materials made available for the public or

presented to the European Commission.

Figure 3: ADALAM Logo

2.1 Project Website

In line with the logo design, ADALAM’s website (http://adalam.eu) was created and launched during

the early stage of the project and represents the main interface and link with the general public,

providing the most updated information on the project.

Figure 4: Snapshot of ADALAM Website

The project website is one of the main vehicles for public dissemination and its layout needs to be

simple and user friendly, ensuring easy access to the key project messages and results.

Based on this principle, ADALAM’s website is structured as follows:

Home: the homepage briefly introduces the main sections of the website.

http://adalam.eu/




The Project: this section provides a brief introduction

Objectives: in this part the key objectives of the project are clearly defined

Consortium: this area presents all project partners, providing a short description of each of

them.

News: the news feed shows updates on the latest news and forthcoming events related to

ADALAM project.

Contact: it provides contact details and allows users to get in touch with the project team by

filling in the contact form

2.2 Social Media

In addition to the traditional web approach, ADALAM’s visibility will rely on its social media presence.

In this sense, the presence of the project on one of the major social platforms (Twitter) allows a two-

way communication with the active web community.

Twitter Account

Our consortium strongly believes in the potential of the ADALAM’s Twitter account. In particular,

through the Twitter profile, ADALAM team can easily and regularly:

- Stay connected with partners, key stakeholders and communities;

- Answer questions and doubts on the project results and its applications;

- Communicate relevant news and announcements;

- Inform about upcoming events.

Since its launch, the Twitter account (http://twitter.com/adalam_eu) has being used as a primary tool

for disseminating project-related information and in view of extending our network, it is indicated in

all the printed material produced.

Figure 5: Snapshots of ADALAM Twitter Account (1)

http://twitter.com/adalam_eu




Figure 6: Snapshots of ADALAM Twitter Account (2)

LinkedIn Group

ADALAM aims to generate a community around laser technology where private and public sector

entities may discuss about new technical developments or related European initiatives. A private

LinkedIn Group has been created to host this forum. This activity has also commented to other projects

such as LASHARE, ISLA and APPOLO in order to create a single discussion point.

Figure 7: Snapshots of ADALAM LinkedIn Group

During this first six months, the LinkedIn Group has not been very active. So far the Group counts 28

members and the main open discussions are related to relevant fairs and benefits of clustering. We

expect to continue publishing content in order to enhance our audience. In parallel to this activity, our

team is promoting ADALAM at events and conferences with the aim of increasing its visibility and thus

the interest in joining the LinkedIn Group.

2.3 Dissemination Material

In line with the work plan envisaged in the preparation phase, different kinds of dissemination and

promotional material have been prepared in the first months of the project implementation.




Press Release

A press release has been issued and shared with all partners, in order for them to circulate information

about the launch of ADALAM project, particularly in their respective dissemination activities with key

stakeholders.

Leaflet and Poster

Thanks to the valuable contribution of all consortium members, a leaflet and poster have already been

designed. The leaflet presents the project’s overview, objectives and expected impact, as well as the

partner information and reference contact details. The poster includes some representative pictures

in addition to the project’s main information.

Both dissemination materials have been now released and will be used in main events – such as

conferences, workshops, meetings – and project-related activities in order to enhance its visibility.

The leaflet and poster are also available for download from the project website.

Figure 8: ADALAM Leaflet and Poster

2.4 Publications

Publications are a privileged means of reaching the scientific community and are expected to be

generated by the work carried out through ADALAM.

Some of our consortium members have already identified potential collaborations and are willing to

contribute to scientific journals. In particular, DEMCON, in cooperation with other partners, including

Focal, IPT Fraunhofer and Lightmotif, will carry out an interview with the technological magazine




Mikroniek in order to discuss ADALAM’s innovations, which will be probably include in the upcoming

edition of Mikroniek.

2.5 Participation in events

As stated in our proposal, the technological and strategic results of ADALAM will be illustrated at key

industrial and scientific events, conferences and exhibitions, in order to increase the impact of the

project technical advances for future exploitation and to reach commercial, scientific and industrial

audiences.

In the previous six months, the ADALAM consortium has attended the following events:

2.6 ADALAM-organised events

ADALAM project is still in its very initial phase, so there are no ADALAM events scheduled for the next

6 months. However, in these first months there have been discussions with the rest of the European

laser-related projects to coordinate efforts for attending special events together, increasing the

presence and/or organizing special laser-related workshops.

During this year’s Laser World of Photonics, a special dedicated workshop was organized with great

success in terms of projects’ interaction. Our idea is to plan this kind of actions to effectively reach the

market and start getting in touch and contacting potential end-users.

3 DISSEMINATION STRATEGY MONITORING AND ASSESSMENT

As any other tasks of the project, dissemination activities may be more or less successful and are

subject to monitoring and evaluation as part of the ongoing quality control. In order to establish if the

selected dissemination strategy was appropriate, properly planned and implemented, it is useful to

identify a combination of criteria/indicators as well as feedback mechanisms to measure the extent to

which the dissemination plan is meeting the objectives set. This will help the assessment of the project

impact on targeted stakeholders, the quality of each dissemination activity and the overall progress in

achieving the disseminations.

The set of indicators identified should:

Be related to the overall purpose of the dissemination plan;

Be linked to the different components of each specific activity;

Enable the easy measurement of the activities’ progress.

The following table presents a list of quantitative indicators which allow quantifiable measurements

and will guide our evaluation of the project dissemination impact.

To ensure the best performance in the different dissemination activities, regular check-in on the task progress will be carried out. All partners are requested to periodically report on their respective activities, in order to facilitate the progress monitoring against the objectives set.

Thanks to the continuous monitoring process, it will be possible to evaluate the overall quality of the

dissemination results as well as identify success factors and barriers to the full completion of activities.

Equally, the regular monitoring will enable to take action, propose corrective measures for

improvements and review specific aspects of the whole process, if needed.

4 POTENTIAL LIAISONS WITH OTHER EU-PROJECTS AND/OR COMMUNITIES

ADALAM team is also particularly interested in exploring liaison opportunities with related projects by

information sharing, privileged interactions, networking activities and event/initiative co-organization.

In particular, following the participation in the Impact WorkShop, a new initiative for clustering laser-

based projects was initiated. Initial contacts and actions have been coordinated by Fraunhofer ILT (Mr.

Ulrich Thombansen). During the dinner networking meeting, where most of the projects were

represented, we had the chance to discuss which activities should be developed and how we envision

doing it. Together with ADALAM team members, representatives from the following projects were

invited:




APPOLO (FP7-I4MS): This project focuses on emerging innovative laser

technologies and processes, which need to be customised, tested and

validated before being able to compete in the market. The project brings

together the demand of end-users and the knowledge of application laboratories with

equipment manufacturers to facilitate faster validation of the process feasibility and adaptation of the

laser technology and equipment. All activities are arranged in assessment value chains that include

testing, integration, validation and the assessment of the processes at end-user’s facilities.

Bridle (FP7): This ambitious project, also funded through FoF, is

working towards a diode laser producing >2kW from a 100 μm OD

optical fibre with an efficiency >40%.

Combilaser (H2020): COMBILASER has the vision to create a

solution that minimizes human expert intervention in setup and

operation of laser based manufacturing systems by integrating the industrial laser process with a

seamless set up and a self-learning module. In doing so, it aims to reduce process optimization loop

for new applications addressing flexibility and ever more demanding standards in industry.

Isla (FP7): Integrated disruptive componentS for 2 μm fibre Lasers (ISLA) has several

partners in common with HALO, and is working on development of technology to

establish 2 μm fibre lasers based on silica glasses. These lasers have the potential for

extremely high power applications, as well as wavelength-specific advantages of 2 μm

such as plastics material processing and bio-medical applications.

Lashare (FP7-I4MS): LASHARE establishes Laser-based Equipment Assessment

(LEA) as a tool for accelerated technology transfer. Currently, 14 LEAs focus on

an increase in Technology Readiness Level of manufacturing equipment such

as small high precision ultrafast sources for thin film processing, turnkey optical systems for parallel

processing by laser beam splitting or plug and play direct diode laser modules for energy efficient warm

forming of high strengths steels. The LEAs support 14 small and medium sized equipment suppliers

across Europe in collaboration with 14 industrial users and six research hubs.

Lift (FP7): Leadership In Fibre laser Technology. Led by Fraunhofer ILT this large Integrating

Project has been working on novel fibre lasers for several years.

MAShES (H2020) aims to develop a breakthrough compact imaging system

for RT closed-loop control of laser processing. It will be built on a novel

multispectral optics and multisensor arrangement in the VIS-MWIR

spectrum. Absolute temperature, geometry, and speed, will be imaged accurately and reliably. RT

process control, and cognitive readjustment and process quality diagnosis will be embedded.

QCoala (FP7): Quality Control of Aluminium Laser-welded Assemblies (QCoala) is

also funded through the Factories of the Future (FoF) initiative. Led by The Welding

Institute (TWI), the project concentrates on welding applications for lasers, and




there is some interesting overlap with HAL applications. Fraunhofer ILT is also a partner in QCOALA.

UV-Marking (FP7): UV-Marking project aims at demonstrating

that unitary customization (individual configurations/designs of

each customer) is possible, by developing a new laser in the

ultraviolet (UV) range that provides high quality marking on

different materials.

Although there is no action plan defined yet, we all agree on scheduling periodic meetings and/or calls

to coordinate activities and jointly attend events and conferences. By means of example, most of these

projects’ representatives, including ADALAM’s, participated in the last edition of the Laser World of

Photonics in Munich, where we were all invited to present our project objectives and developments.

5 CONCLUSIONS

This document has presented ADALAM’s Initial dissemination plan and the progress made so far in

implementing the single activities planned.

The dissemination plan presented aims to ensure all dissemination activities are efficiently and

effectively carried out. Nevertheless, the project team intends to be flexible in order to adapt to future

developments and changes, in case this helps maximize the impact of the project results. Therefore,

the dissemination strategy might be adjusted integrating further aspects, based on the lessons learnt

throughout the project implementation in the next months.
