This document represents the second in a series of three iterations of the OSAwards.EUdissemination, exploitation and communication plan. Like its predecessor, D7.1, it also serves as thecommunication plan for the European Open Source Academy (EOSA).The primary objective of WP7 is to promote and disseminate the project’s ambitions, ongoingactivities and key exploitable results (KERs) to strategic stakeholder groups. This is achieved throughcontent-rich communication campaigns and impactful engagement with media representatives,aiming to expand the visibility and recognition of both EOSA and OSAwards beyond their coreaudiences. During this reporting period, multiple integrated communication tools wereimplemented and refined, maintaining strong coordination across all Work Packages.This document, entitled “D7.2 First / Intermediate Dissemination, Exploitation, and CommunicationPlan,” outlines the results and impact of dissemination and communication activities carried outbetween May 2025 (M7) and April 2026 (M18).
