In order to guarantee a successfully transmission of knowledge obtained during the project execution, a rich dissemination plan will be implemented. Its major objective can be stated as follow:

Objective:

"The main aim of the dissemination plan is to spread acquired knowledge, scientific research results and gained experience, which are obtained during the execution of the project, to the scientific community, industry and public entities, and to the public in general. "

The knowledge dissemination can be planned in three wide areas: Dissemination for the scientific community, dissemination for the industry and public entities, like water authorities and governmental bodies and finally for the public in general. For each group, different dissemination activities are required as it is described below. A summary is given in Fig. 3.

Dissemination plan:

Dissemination within the scientific community: Three mainly scientific communities are represented in the project, namely the renewable energies community, the control engineering community and the desalination community

Dissemination for industry and public bodies: The implementation of dissemination in this field will be carried out by means of courses and seminars. Several institutions as the Desalination Directory, the Middle East Desalination Centre and the European Desalination Society are internationally recognized and specialized in the organization of courses and seminars.

Dissemination to the general public: the Consortium will actively take part in exhibitions like Aquatech and Euromed. Diffusion material, e.g. leaflets, booklets and brochures will be prepared and offered.
