Deliverable D8.2: Sustainability Plan including Toolbox

This sustainability plan outlines the commitments to ensuring the lasting adoption of scientific, procedural, legal, regulatory, and other recommendations generated by the Human Microbiome Action project beyond its funding period. Its goal is to engage key stakeholders, both established and new, and to facilitate the uptake of project 
outcomes. To achieve this, the Sustainability Report identifies key stakeholder groups to be kept engaged through various elements such as the initiated European Microbiome Centres Consortium (EMCC), a dedicated surveillance network, participation in scientific events, media outreach, and collaboration with other European-funded projects. These channels will help the project reach the target stakeholders effectively. Additionally, a toolbox with communication materials, including press release templates, project presentations, short-form videos, social media templates, factsheets, an animated video, poster templates, and infographics, is being shared with project partners, all designed to support their long-term communication efforts. The project’s commitment to sustained engagement and effective communication ensures that valuable outcomes continue to make a meaningful impact.
