Dissemination actions ?

For clarity: dissemination includes everything from attending conferences to talk about results of the project to personnel costs for writing scientific papers about the project results to establishing and maintaining the project website. Is this correct?

When to include advisory board in the proposal, stage one or stage two?

The advice is to include an AB already in the project governance structure of the project at the first stage. It may help to convince the evaluators.

For the stage one, is it common to use Chart, e.g. Gantt chart to explain work-plan, do people use chart in stage one?

I would recommend integrating a Gantt or Pert Chart in first stage proposals only when you stick to the page limit. The Guide for Applicants does not foresee to have a Gantt or Pert Chart at stage one.2019 Air Vapormax Flair
