3. The RED library will be built through the RED system input activity, achieving a unique unitary view of the most authoritative and relevant reports sources of information and important documents for racism, discrimination and equality in the Member States. The selected and outstanding data which compose the library of the most important documents are input in a cost-effective way through the RED input.

4. RED Thesaurus is a unique collection and a dictionary of of most frequent, new and old, emerging and transforming racist stereotypes, stigmatising and labelling of ethnic and cultural groups, migrant and social minorities who are victimised or at risk of victimisation in the member States. This highly innovative deliverable will be based on selected data which are input in a cost-effective way through the RED system input activity by the RED Network partners.

5. RED readiness: All RED Network national research partners provide a regular update of the RED early-warning system, especially through real-time, straight-forward information on the situation and developments regarding discrimination on the grounds of race, ethnic origin and religion as well as multiple discrimination involving all these kinds of discrimination and of the related policies and legislation in EU Member States.

RED Reporting

EU comparative (with a focus on the specific Eu countries) Reports on the RED Atlas findings will be produced and disseminated in month 12 and 24 of the RED Network Project.

1. RED Atlas Reporting
2. RED Breaking news reporting

Breaking news reporting will focus on real-time provision fo basic and contextual information on developing phenomena of racism (especially of racist violence and hate speech) in specific national and/or regional level in order to allow for timely policy response and public awareness. Particular focus will be given to stereotypes and to their debunkering through authoritative sources of research information aiming to breaking the vicious circle of racist attitudes and discrimination in the political discourse, media and the wide public especially on a national level.
The number of such reports is undefined since the eruption of such phenomena may not be forecasted, while still we know that they become all the more frequent in many EU countries, especially those represented by RED Network partners in this proposal.
It goes noted that the RED project does not intend to provide merely a media-like notification or empty criticism regarding racism and critical situations and events but to obtain a more reliable well documented information and signal early enough critical situations, while also indicating in which country policy response has been better or improving. Therefore the RED Network is focussing also on good practices in direct connection and as a response to real and urgent problems and not as in-vitro solutions which have not been proven on the ground. This is the reason RED portal users may obtain map-based comparative information in RED readiness and alert interface both on incidents. Critical situations and on positive and efficient policy responses. This will provide unique groundbreaking possibilities to identify, compare and easily evaluate problems and responsive, efficient policies, which may improve the impact of legislation and state practices in the area, which is currently not at the level desired and set by EU and national policies.

Dissemination Strategy

The RED project target group is ultimately the wide public for what concerns dominant or emerging public perceptions, attitudes, misunderstandings, misinformation and intolerant stereotypes. However, while still unskilled internet users may be direct beneficiaries and users of the RED system,  this is mainly expected to be accomplished through targeting of expert publics and operators/policy makers in order to shift considerably or to reverse and make more efficient and relevant their response to the racism and discrimination phenomena. This goes for both the media operators - opinion leaders (e.g. key public figures in the Member States) and the policy makers and public authorities on a national and EU level.
Additionally, as a multiplying factor, the RED Network and the RED system is an open platform and research forum to research and civil society organisations and networks, in order to further refine its research and public impact tools, but most and foremost to expand the academic and research readiness and engagement in countering, debunkering and efficiently deconstructing myths, stereotypes, stigmas and obstacles to democratic living together.
The dissemination strategy is developed around the RED system web portal. The RED project is developed in four phases, where the first year is the set up and tuning of e-tools and research data and the second is dedicated to launch of the RED system potential and to its public impact to targeted publics in the national and the EU public sphere.
The main tools for dissemination and raising awareness on racism, xenophobia and intolerance in EU will be:
The RED Atlas web portal, which will
