The Dissemination and Exploitation Working Group is dedicated to maximizing the visibility and impact of our collaborative efforts in advancing brain cancer research across Europe. Effective dissemination of findings and strategic exploitation of knowledge are critical for transforming scientific discoveries into tangible clinical outcomes. WG6 develops comprehensive strategies to communicate research outputs to diverse audiences — including the scientific community, clinicians, policymakers, industry partners, and the general public — fostering a culture of open exchange and cross-sector collaboration.
By aligning dissemination and exploitation strategies with the overarching goals of the Net4Brain COST Action, WG6 aims to amplify the consortium’s scientific impact, raise societal awareness, and promote the translation of research outcomes into improved diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Collaborative initiatives and stakeholder engagement form the foundation of our approach, ensuring that our results contribute meaningfully to advancements in brain cancer care and management.
The success of WG6 depends on the active engagement of its members. Contributions are welcomed from those passionate about science communication, knowledge transfer, or the development of innovative exploitation pathways. Together, we foster an environment of creativity, collaboration, and strategic impact — bridging the gap between research excellence and societal benefit.
