Definition of dissemination and exploitation of project results extracted from the Erasmus+ programme: 
Dissemination and exploitation of results are crucial areas of the Erasmus+ project lifecycle. They give participating organisations the opportunity to communicate and share outcomes and deliverables, thus extending the impact of their projects, improving their sustainability and justifying the European added value of Erasmus+. In order to successfully disseminate and exploit project results, organisations involved in Erasmus+ projects are asked to give the necessary thought to dissemination and exploitation activities when designing and implementing their project. The level and intensity of such activities should be proportional to the objectives, the scope and the targets of the different Actions of Erasmus+. Results achieved in a particular project may be highly relevant and interesting also in fields not covered by the project and it is up to the individual projects to develop strategies and methods ensuring that others can easily access what has been developed and produced. Specific guidelines in this respect can be found in Annex II to this Programme Guide.
