Project dissemination
The primary objective of the MicroActive project has been to develop a point of care diagnostic test intended for use in a doctor’s clinic or surgery. Obviously effective dissemination of the project’s activities, progress and outcomes is integral to the ultimate success of the end product diagnostic test.

The dissemination activities undertaken by each partner and the consortium as a whole are predominantly through the following channels:

  • Scientific publications – technical articles, clinical articles 
  • Research community & business
  • Doctors’ conferences and networks
  • Distribution of informative material at medical conferences/meetings
  • Education - Microtechnology courses at graduate level
  • Popular / press articles (as the project results are of obvious public interest)
  • Project web-page

The Publishable Final Activity report from the project summarize the major findings and results.
