Concept of C-E.N.T.E.R. course
The C-E.N.T.E.R. course for active dissemination and exploitation of EU project results is based on the outputs of the collection of the state-of-the-art of dissemination carried out in each partner country in the beginning of the project. The contents are developed with duration of 5 days in English with a focus on interactive participation in form of smaller working groups, presentations of good practice examples and discussions. The other part includes thematic key inputs in plenary sessions as well as excursions to companies working in fields necessary and interesting for dissemination such as graphic design, web design, print shop, newspapers, TV channels.
The workshop is addressed to persons and organisations in the field of education that are working in European projects. Furthermore, we would like to address those who are interested in getting involved in this field or in improving their knowledge in product placement and marketing in this field.
After the testing period the final C-E.N.T.E.R. workshop for dissemination and exploitation of EU project results was offered as European course (under Grundtvig In-Service training grants) in Portugal in October 2012.
Developments related to the workshops
- Trainer manual and guidelines - Handbook for workshop organisation and trainer
- C-E.N.T.E.R. toolkit - This collection of dissemination instruments and methods will serve as practical supportive material for workshop participants on the one hand. On the other it will also be used as guidelines for active dissemination and exploitation of EU project results to support anyone working in the field of European projects.

C-E.N.T.E.R. Pilot Workshop
The pilot workshop was organised in Lodz, Poland from October 3-6 2011. All project partners participated in this activity together with one other representative of the target group from each country. The programme included different parts of the training modules as well as discussions with guest speakers and field trips (e.g. visit of a local TV channel). The aim of the test run is to receive feedback for possible improvements related to the C-E.N.T.E.R. Toolkit and the Trainer Manual and Guidelines.
