Impact of the Coronavirus Pandemic on Dissemination Activities Sample Clauses

Impact of the Coronavirus Pandemic on Dissemination Activities. The coronavirus pandemic, which started in early 2020, has been met with sweeping non-pharmaceutical interventions, colloquially known as lockdowns (encompassing stay-at-home orders, curfews, quarantines, cordons sanitaires and similar societal restrictions). This has obviously had substantial impact on the dissemination activities of a scientific research centre of excellence, affecting 19 of the first 25 months of CompBioMed2. Any dissemination activities involving person-to-person interactions in the same space have largely been wiped out, instead placing a heavy emphasis on online, TV, and Radio activities, in particular, online activities. While there were substantial plans for in-person events during CompBioMed2 (see Section 6.4.1), it was found that most were possible to convert to an online format, including the second edition of the CompBioMed Conference. The result is that talks, posters, booths, workshops, and conferences continued to take place during the pandemic, but in virtual formats. Virtual events comprise a significant amount of the activities described in this deliverable, these introduce both positives and negatives. On the negative side, the loss of person-to-person interactions in the same location has reduced the amount of discussion and connections made during events. The virtual format does not lend itself well to discussion, neither during allocated discussion segments, nor informally between sessions. There are ways to try to regain these interactions, as we attempted for CompBioMed Conference 21 (CBMC21, see Section 6.4.1), but they can never be fully regained. Additionally, there is a notable drop in engagement from participants in virtual events. Naturally, attendees can fit competing virtual commitments in and around the virtual events, and frequently do so. Without being at the location of the event for the duration of it, participants can drop in and out of events at will, leading to many of them only tuning in for specific parts that they are most interested in. Furthermore, even when tuned in they are free to pay as much or as little attention as they choose. There are methods to improve engagement, as we attempted with CBMC21, but again it is not possible to reach the engagement levels of in-person events. On the positive side, it is very easy to attend virtual events; there is no need for international travel, no need to clear multiple days in one’s diary, and there is no or little cost in attending. In the early days ...
