Project stages: brief description
As the Agreement itself was rather of an "internal" importance for the project's participants, it was considered improper to use it as an independent informational occasion. The Agency specialists suggested that the form of the event should be changed, and it should be conducted as a round table, inviting potential users of the "Anti-Plagiarism.SAC" system and media representastives. The round table focused rather on the system putting into opertation, than on the Agreement signing as such.
Within the project, the "PROPAGANDA" CCT realized the whole range of works for the round table organization and conducting, as well as supported the cooperation with the media and initiaation of publications relating to the matter.
The Agency focused on developing the concept of the event, in order to make it topical and rich in content.
The «PRОPAGANDА» CCT monitored mass media, in order to understand the sharpest issues of the branch and the matters most called-for by the media. Then, key issues of the round table were formulated.
For accredited journalists, the Agency prepared a comprehensive press kit, in which analytic historic materials, facts of the Russian dissertation services market condition, speakers' citations, etc. were included. For the participants of the round table, a scenario of the event was elaborated, specifying the sequence of speeches and the scope of issues considered by each speaker.
In the framework of the round table, a demonstration of the "Anti-Plagiarism" systen in operation took place, in order to show its practical use in reality, which gave the needed dynamics to the event.
