Preface
ENSPOL is an EU-funded project targeting the effective and proper implementation of Article
7 of the Energy Efficiency Directive in all Member States and beyond. Major objective of
ENSPOL is the establishment, revision and implementation of robust Energy Efficiency
Obligation Schemes or alternative policy measures to each Member State. At the same time
the project envisages the provision of appropriately refined information and supportive
strategic tools to all targeted stakeholders. The project is coordinated by the research
organization Joint Implementation Network.
The strong involvement of all relevant stakeholders will enable a more thorough
understanding of the variables at play, an identification and prioritisation of necessary policy
prerequisites. The dissemination strategy lays a special emphasis on reaching European-wide
actors and stakeholders, well, beyond the target area region.

1 INTRODUCTION
The project website is an important and versatile dissemination tool. A public website of the
project was developed for disseminating project results, for providing information related to
the project and the partners and for the communication among all interested parties. The
ENSPOL website aims not only to present the project’s results but also to be a referenced
site containing useful disseminating material, as well as relevant material and useful links
related to EEO schemes.
The website development is of significant importance for the effective promotion of the
project concept, results and stakeholder engagement. In this way, a website has been
developed in parallel to the other WPs dedicated to the ENSPOL project activities providing
information regarding meetings schedules, newsletters, etc.
The website will contain at a minimum (but not limited to) the following:
Information about the project, including: Objectives, Organization, Participants etc.;
Strengths and Weaknesses of EEOs and alternative support policies on a member
state level;
Cross comparison analysis between EEOs and alternative policy measures;
Recommendations on realization of 2020 target achievement and additional policy
needs on a member state level;
Recommendations to improve effectiveness, cost efficiency, market integration etc.
of EEOs; and
Project deliverables will be uploaded whenever ready and major improvements and
additions of the web-site are planned on a regular basis, biannually.
The website will be connected to the ENSPOL platform, as soon as the platform will be
developed. Interested parties will access the platform using any standard web browser on
Internet access and will be specified and linked with ENSPOL project website. Discussion
topics and papers developed for the purpose of capacity building workshops and national
stakeholder engagement meetings will be regularly posted on the platform to stimulate
discussion.
The website’s address has been reserved and is the following: http://enspol.eu/. It is the
intention of the consortium to keep the website running for at least two years after the
project end.

3 MEMBERS AREA
The “Members Area” webpage will successfully facilitate internal coordination among
partners. Members Area will be user friendly and capable of uploading documents so that it
will act as a primary consortium channel for knowledge exchange. This channel, which will
be password protected, will be designed to assure both efficient documentation
management, sufficient and direct communication of the implementation and dissemination
of information for partners.
More particularly, the “Members Area” section provides access to project partners including
all documents produced within each WP by the consortium stored and shared among the
partners. Moreover, Members Area includes all the informational material from the project’s
Kick-Off Meeting and will be enhanced with useful material from other meetings (agenda,
minutes, presentations, etc.) as well as material relating to administrative issues.
Additionally, given the numerous WPs and the interlinkages between them, each WP leader
will be requested to complete a WP data input-output table shortly after the kick-off
meeting, specifying: (i) The types of data needed from other WPs well as their timing and (ii)
types of results and other outputs and their timing. These tables will be aggregated into a
WP input-output project manual for further reference during the project included in
Members Area.
The “Members Area” page facilitates the collaboration among project partners and includes
folders specific to the different WPs as regards the currently working documents, the final
deliverables, documents related to ENSPOL meetings and workshops as well as technical
documents produced by the consortium.
All users are able to provide comments and they receive a notification e-mail for each new
file uploaded in the “Members Area”.

4 SOCIAL MEDIA TOOLS
Social Media is a platform that is easily accessible to anyone with internet access. Increased
communication for organizations fosters brand awareness. Additionally, social media serves
as a relatively inexpensive platform for organizations to implement marketing campaigns
and effectively disseminate outcomes and associated information. With the proliferation of
niche sites and communities on the Internet, it’s becoming increasingly important to target
long tail search terms and cast a wide net.
In this framework, exploiting all the assets social media has to offer, while paying attention
to the related risks could be truly beneficial in successfully disseminating ENSPOL scope,
activities and outcomes. Through social networking ENSPOL has gained wide access to the
power of web publishing to non-technical users cost-effectively, while e.g. LinkedIn, Twitter,
Facebook, MyEuropa platform, RSS users drive traffic to ENSPOL website, articles,
workshops, etc.

5 LINKAGE TO PLATFORMS AND PROJECTS
5.1 Stakeholders Web Platform
Under the ENSPOL project an interactive web platform will be developed for sharing the
valuable pieces of information, experience, knowledge and competence of key national and
EU level stakeholders about the past experiences and current challenges of EEO schemes
and alternative EE policy support measures. ENSPOL Stakeholders Web Platform intends to
foster and facilitate dialogue, views and ideas among key stakeholders and between them
and the project consortium at the national and EU level.
The stakeholders’ web platform will serve as a central repository of information and signpost
to other relevant information, scientific research and websites. The platform will bring
together all the knowledge relating to implementation of Article 7 in one place as well as
disseminate reports, relevant projects’ deliverables, peer-reviewed papers’ summaries and
articles in the electronic press to support the exchange of information.
The web platform will be interactive and attractive and on the other hand easy to navigate
and fast in providing information.
The platform will be officially launched on July 2015 and integrated into the project website.
The operation includes regular uploads of information provided by project partners and all
the other interactive and ad hoc materials. The platform will be continuously monitored for
availability and reliability.
Much of the content of the platform will be available to non-registered users. However
anyone wishing to post content will be asked to sign-up and join – as per other social
networking areas – enabling consortium to analyse and report on who is using it and why.
Interested parties will access the platform using any standard web browser on Internet
access and will be specified and linked with ENSPOL project website. Also the platform will
be disseminated through all ENSPOL means.

5.2 Links with other projects
ENSPOL intends to establish a dialogue and a continuous exchange, over the whole duration
of the project, with the consortia in charge of other related projects, in order to avoid
duplication of work and exploit synergies. To this end ENSPOL has created synergies with
other initiatives increasing in this way the visibility of the project.
A “Useful Links” webpage has been developed where useful and relevant links are
presented. More particularly, the webpage has been recently enhanced with logos and links
of relating initiatives with which ENSPOL has created synergies (Towards2030-dialogue, DIA-
CORE, POLIMP, APRAISE, etc.). Moreover, the webpage includes useful links such us the links
of:
Intelligent Energy Europe Programme.
European Commission.
Energy Strategy for Europe.
