6 1 Introduction This document, entitled Dissemination material I, is the third deliverable that has been produced till now in the framework of WP8: Dissemination and Fora. The deliverable provides information on the first round of dissemination material produced for the City-HUB project. It outlines the material that has been prepared during the first semester of the project s lifecycle, including a leaflet, a poster, a presentation, as well as structured templates to be used when developing other dissemination material hereafter in the project, including the 1 st project s newsletter and fact sheets, etc. Following this introductory chapter, the graphic project (constituting a logo and the graphics to be used in the dissemination material of the project identity) is presented in the second chapter of the document. All of the dissemination material, including the project presentation template, the leaflet, and the poster, along with the press release document are listed and described in chapter three, while in chapter four the relevant templates (newsletter and fact sheet) are presented. The extent of the impact of the project, as a result of the dissemination strategy, is described in chapter five, while the next steps and a summary are presented in the final chapter of the document (chapter six). 2 Graphic project identity The City-HUB logo (Figure 1) and additional graphics (Figures 2, 3) were used for the design of the website ( the social media networking accounts (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn), and the dissemination material of the project.

10 3.3 Posters Two posters (Figures 6, 7) have been designed to be used for the promotion of the project at events, including the Stakeholders Workshops and the Final Conference, as well as at any other event where members of the City-HUB consortium participate. The posters can be printed in a poster frame 50x70 cm. Figure 6: Project poster_version_1 (landscape). Dissemination material I 10

The first press release was distributed in December 2012, announcing the beginning of the project, and introducing the highlights of the scientific approach, the objectives and the expected impact of City-HUB to the wider audience. An English version of the first press release is available on the project s website, while each partner translated the press release to their local language and distributed it in local printed and electronic press.

13 4 Templates 4.1 Newsletters A yearly electronic newsletter (three in total throughout the duration of the project) will be published and distributed. This will provide an update on the project progress, including the midterm and final results. The first newsletter is foreseen to be developed after the first Stakeholder Workshop that will take place in Budapest in March The newsletters will be available for download from the website, and will also be sent by mail to the stakeholders of the project. The template that has been developed is shown in Figure 9. Figure 9: Newsletter template. 4.2 Fact sheets A number of fact sheets will be produced by the project. These will provide an outline of the main findings for each case study investigated (both pilot and validation), as well as addressing specific issues of the project, such as accessibility, soft mode integration, etc. Analytically, the timing and content of the fact sheets that will be produced throughout the project lifecycle, are presented in the dissemination plan of the project (Nathanail et al. 2012).The template that has been developed is shown in Figure 10.

15 5 Impact monitoring system Assessing the impact of the project in terms of approaching a wider audience and the assessment of the effectiveness or appropriateness of the relevant tools (e.g. website) and material (e.g. poster, leaflet) are part of the dissemination strategy. For this reason, three measurement variables are monitored dynamically throughout the project s lifecycle, thus: Visits to and downloads from the website; Number of participants at project s events; and Number of publications. For the needs of the specific deliverable referring to the dissemination material, data has been collected regarding the distribution of the first press release. The results of the distribution of the first press release are presented in the following table (Table 1): Table 1: Distribution of 1 st press release.

26 City-HUB Project Innovative design for efficient urban transport interchanges

27 The City-HUB project 9 Institutes/Organizations (coordinator: UPM/TRANSyT, Spain) 9 participating countries (Spain, Hungary, Norway, Greece, The Netherlands, United Kingdom, Finland, France, Czech Republic) 103 person-months over 30 months Total budget: 1.6 m Requested EU contribution: 1.3 m

28 City-HUB objectives tasks Review state-of-the-art urban and interurban interchanges and gain important learning on measures of success that can be replicated across Europe and beyond. Provide a fully informed comprehensive framework and typography of interchanges on a number of selected case studies, establish methodological guidelines and an implementation framework to be used in the case studies validation, and develop and apply the City-HUB model on specific (validation) case studies. Develop a communication plan to fully exploit and disseminate the findings, results and innovative aspects of the project, through an extensive implementation programme and awareness-raising initiatives and outreach to the main target groups. Manage the City-HUB project in an effective and efficient manner.

29 The City-HUB vision Urban mobility concerns Social exclusions issues Stakeholders perspective Accessibility improvement URBAN TRANSPORT INTERCHANGES Innovation & Technology /ITS Management and business strategies Efficient use of urban space

30 The City-HUB model Provision of methodological guidelines for the integration of design and management models. Consideration of sensible issues related to energy, operation costs, urban land use and transport system integration. Proposal of innovative instruments and definition of guidelines to improve urban interchanges. Consideration of stakeholders opinions. Validation through case studies.

31 Case studies Criteria selection European territorial representativeness Location in the urban context: centre or suburbs Kind of ownership Transport modes involved Relevance of cycling and walking Pilot case studies: Assessment of good practices, obstacles and improvement potential. Validation case studies: Validation of proposed solutions for effective and smart design and integrated management.

32 Pilot case studies

33 Validation case studies

34 Expected impacts Complementarity between modes and operators, enhancing intermodality. Coordination between modes and operators. Creation of people-focused seamless and energy efficient journeys in the urban region catchment area. Improvement of public transport by a private car network passengers transfer. Energy efficient urban network performance, using footprint measurement methods. Increase of economic viability using public rules and private funding.

35 Expected impacts Cost-efficient interchanges. Creation of a business case that stimulates the local economy. Changing professional and decision-making approaches to ensure an inclusive approach to urban intermodality. Provision of a fully-validated City-HUB model to be used in urban and transport planning. Pan-European transferability. Achievement of land use and urban transport infrastructure integration.
