This WG focuses on the dissemination of results, coordination of training and events, and serving as the primary hub for internal communication and public representation of the Action. The training includes 3 training schools (TS). Each of the 3 TSs will be prepared in collaboration with two of the 5 WGs that cover aspects of microbial food development Beyond coordinating the 3 Training Schools (TS), WG6 acts as the central communication engine bridging all WGs. It is responsible for editing and distributing regular newsletters, producing comprehensive meeting and conference reports, and driving external public outreach to maximize the Action’s visibility and impact.
The TSs are open to all members regardless of their background. Participation will enable members to gain a full overview of the development process of microbial foods. Participating PhD students will be awarded credit points that will be applied towards their graduate school requirements. STSMs will enable researchers to visit partner institutions. STSMs within the same WG will allow an exchange of knowledge within similar backgrounds and will be encouraged during years 1 and 2.
Additionally, Virtual Mobility (VM) grants will support the remote collaboration of participants, e.g. participation in online workshops, collaboration in computational work, or preparation of literature reviews. Dissemination is promoted through different measures, including the preparation and maintenance of a website and LinkedIn page, regular newsletters via email, and publication on the website.
