Working Group 4

Communication, Dissemination and Knowledge Transfer

Description

Working Group 4 (WG4) will focus on Communication, Dissemination and Knowledge Transfer to support the specific activities of the three other Working Groups, including the organisation of workshops, research training events, and the dissemination of knowledge generated within all BOPALiM Working Groups, including publications, online training programs, and educational materials.

Activities undertaken by WG4 will be tailored to other WGs according to their objectives, leadership suggestions, and outputs. WG4 will facilitate collaboration among all WGs and integrate knowledge produced with the overarching goal to increase community participation of older adults. WG4 will organise the final conference that will conclude the BOPALiM and present the results of all four years of common activities within our COST Action. The Core Group will be included in WG4 activities and will be tasked with key overarching activities or those to be undertaken within specific WGs.
