Deliverable 6.2 describes the activities planned for the Communication, Dissemination, and Exploitation ofresults of the project PurPest (Project number: 101060634). PurPest proposes the development of a uniqueconcept for the control of serious plant pests during import of plant material and pest management in thefield, based on profiling the specific volatiles released by pests or pest-attacked plants. In this project, a deepanalysis of pest and host emitted volatiles will support the development and technological optimization of anovel portable sensor system prototype (SSP) for a swift and wider screening of potentially infected material.The hypothetical improvement in pest detection will be analysed in a socio-economical point of view todetermine its impacts on European import industry and on society. This analysis can be used to informpolicymakers on the stronger approaches to deal with current pest management strategies.In this context, communication, dissemination and exploitation play a key role in the implementation of thePurPest concept. The communication, dissemination and exploitation plan was developed to outline theobjectives, overall strategy, and necessary activities to effectively inform about and promote the project,ensure the availability of results for wider use, and facilitate practical utilization of research outcomes.Communication tools, channels and actions are presented and include the development of the PurPest logoand identity, creation of an appealing website, in association with the partner institutions websites, and thevarious social media outlets and networks to boost the communication of the project concepts and results.Dissemination actions are defined and outlined to maximize the impact of the project in alignment with theobjectives of the Horizon Europe Farm2Fork strategy. The best disseminations routes are identified to appealto stakeholder interest. PurPest aims to stimulate awareness, foster knowledge exchange, and facilitate theutilization of its research outputs. Finally, the exploitation plan is set forth to manage the research andinnovation outcomes of the project and promote utilization of its main finds, even beyond the projectduration. This document will be updated throughout the project duration to maintain its relevance for the general and scientific communities.
