KA4 - Dissemination and Exploitation 

of results 

Key Activity 4 helps to 

create an effective 

exploitation of results at 

local, sectoral, regional, 

national and European 

levels, in synergy with 

communication activities. 


18

What is the difference between 

Accompanying Measures and KA4? 

KA4 is a transversal action: integrated approach across 

two or more LLP sectors and previous related 

programmes and it deals with project that have a 

broader impact than just a simple conference or 

publication 

• Accompanying measures are within sectoral 

programmes (Erasmus, Comenius, Leonardo da Vinci, 

Grundtvig) are specific to these programmes and they 

are of smaller scale and foresee punctual actions of 

dissemination 

19

Priorities for Multilateral Projects 

1. Activities to research and identify barriers to 

dissemination and exploitation and develop 

robust models for successful D&E of results; 

2. Activities to assess the impact of results of 

D&E actions; 

3. Transfer and implement results 

(multiplication) and/or mainstream them into 

policies;
