This line of activity aimed at the development of opportunities for the dissemination and communication of the results of the research carried out within WP1 (concentration photovoltaics), for the purpose of creating a lasting and constructive contact with parties potentially interested in research in this area: industry operators, research institutes, users, and organizations dealing with legislation, regulation and standards.

Results were firstly disclosed to the users of the Italian Electricity System to inform them on the benefits obtained thanks to the research activities of the project. This occurred mainly through the publication of System Research Reports on the RSE website, where documents can be freely viewed and downloaded.

The results were also disclosed to national institutional entities such as – mainly – the Italian Ministry of Economic Development, the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and ARERA [the Italian regulatory authority for energy networks and environment], both during institutional meetings and within working groups on specific topics. Furthermore, knowledge was exchanged during conferences, technical seminars, meetings of photovoltaic technical committees (CEI [the Italian electrotechnical committee] and IEC), as well as through the publication of press releases and articles in specialized sector magazines. These activities tend to develop opportunities for dissemination and communication of the results of research conducted in the project, aiming to create lasting and constructive contact with potentially interested parties (industry operators, research institutes, users).

Finally, the report presents additional important interactions with international organizations, such as: Mission Innovation, SET (Strategic Energy Technology) Plan, and ETIP PV (European Technology and Innovation Platform for Photovoltaics).
