Project Deliverable: Communication and Dissemination Report

The Human Microbiome Action project, funded under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme, aims to advance the field of microbiome research through harmonisation and standardisation of the field. Between May 2021 and April 2024, the project implemented several outreach activities to share the project outcomes and enhance Europe’s leadership in microbiome research, leveraging these insights for public health advancements. Strategic communication and dissemination plays a vital role in the Human Microbiome Action project. This final report highlights the activities carried out by WP8 with the support of all other project partners during this project. Key activities include the development of a strategic communication and dissemination plan (D8.1), a dynamic project website, active engagement through social media, the production and distribution of various educational materials, and substantial contributions to scientific and public discourse through workshops, conferences, as well as media interactions and a sustainability plan to increase long-term impact (D8.2). The project has fostered a broad spectrum of stakeholder engagements, from academic peers to industry partners and policymakers, ensuring wide dissemination of research findings and fostering a collaborative environment conducive to future innovations in the field.
