Communication plays an important role in national research programmes. For one, regular and open information on the progress of the research is provided to the interested public. For another, as national research programmes produce direct benefit for practice, they must be sufficiently communicated to users, whether policy makers or persons in the private sector.
NRP 57 provides information through the NRP 57 Web site, a newsletter , and publications . The media are informed about relevant events and results in the framework of the NRP 57 through press releases.
