About dissemination

Where the work meets the world.

Dissemination is not an afterthought. It is the discipline of showing the work in public — in classrooms, conferences, ministry rooms and policy briefs — and letting it be challenged, reused and shaped by the people it serves.

The network

Five countries, one conversation.

The consortium spans five partner countries — each anchoring local pilots, national networks and a slice of European policy uptake.

FI Finland DE Germany NL Netherlands IT Italy ES Spain · Málaga

Anchored in five local realities.

Spain hosts the first co-creation workshop. The other four countries run parallel pilots and bring their own ministries, school networks and edtech ecosystems into the work.

How we share

Three frequencies, broadcasting in parallel.

The dissemination strategy works across three lanes at once — always-on online presence, in-person events and targeted policy engagement.

Who we reach

Two audiences. Different jobs.

The people who will pick up the tools, and the ecosystem that helps the work travel further than the consortium ever could on its own.

A Primary

The direct users.

Educators and decision-makers who will pick up the framework, run the assessments in real classrooms and shape how it lands in national rollouts.

  • Schools (primary, secondary, VET)
  • VET institutions
  • Education policymakers
  • Teacher-training providers
B Secondary

The supporting ecosystem.

Researchers, edtech builders and EU bodies — the network that amplifies the work, validates it with peer review and helps it scale beyond the consortium.

  • Edtech developers
  • Researchers & academia
  • JRC, EACEA, DG EAC
  • European Schoolnet
  • ET2025 Working Groups
