Media outreach has been a key priority throughout the lifetime of the C4U project. Achievement of the C4U project’s impacts depends on the project’s research and findings being exploited to the full extent and disseminated to relevant stakeholders. Media outreach is a crucial avenue through which to achieve this.
Throughout its lifetime, the C4U Consortium has achieved a long history of impactful media activity, engaging with a wide array of mainstream and specialized media across Europe.
Pieces authored by C4U researchers:
