This deliverable documents how CHORIZO created “innovation impact synergies” through a two-track approach defined in Task 5.3: interfacing project outputs with EC-driven initiatives for open access and reuse, and clustering with relevant and active EU FLW projects to prepare joint federation and syndication of service-oriented assets. Covering activity from M25 to M36, it builds explicitly on WP6 liaison channels and supports tracking of MS8 “Innovation impact synergies.”Section 1 clarifies the purpose and scope: to evidence, with verifiable artefacts, how CHORIZO’s results have been made findable and reusable beyond the consortium while laying the governance groundwork for post-project federation. Section 2 sets the rationale and selection logic for clustering, aligning with EU policy frames and describing how partners and channels were prioritised for the greatest leverage and least duplication.Section 3 reports the EC-facing interface work. CHORIZO positioned its core assets on the EU Food Loss and Waste Prevention Hub through a set of public resources, most notably the Insighter Status Report, the composite indices methodology, and capacity-building items, so that decision-makers and practitioners can locate and reuse the tools and methods. Complementarity with the European Consumer Food Waste Forum and publication of practice abstracts via the CAP network further widened discovery.Section 4 documents the clustering proper and the federation/syndication pathway. Collaboration with ToNoWaste (GA 101059849) and COMBINE (GA 101158394) took the form of structured exchanges focused on method and tool alignment, with data exchange and guided feedback to the CHORIZO Insighter tool agreed in principle but not enforced within the reporting period. With ZeroW (GA 101036388), clustering culminated in a co-programmed multi-stakeholder final conference in Brussels on 16 September 2025. Beyond EU projects, an exploratory presentation was delivered to FAO on 31 July 2025 to explore showcasing and synergies on international platforms. The section also consolidates evidence that CHORIZO’s assets are ready for syndication, i.e. Insighter (the Datahub) functioned as the outward-facing catalogue; the Rapid Appraisal/Visualizer (D3.5) packaged the modelling outcomes into a web-based “what-if” interface built on HUMAT–MOA and the Pantry Manager microsimulation to enable inspection, replication and reuse without code-level integration; and the T4.3 board game that translated social-norms insights into a classroom tool. Capacity-building feedback across actor groups corroborates demand and user-perceived value.Section 4 also states the variance against the most ambitious federation KPI: in line with end-phase timing and meeting conclusions, no Memoranda of Understanding or Service Level Agreements (SLA) were executed by M36; instead, the project delivers a readiness framework and draft SLA templates to enable post-project federation, and codifies service-agreement principles covering scope, roles and responsibilities, access and use rights, quality, sustainability, feedback, and operational commitments.Section 5 situates these results in communication and dissemination practice, showing how joint programming, shared sessions and Café Talks with sister and peer projects, alongside the Hub entries, amplified reach while avoiding duplication. Together the sections evidence that CHORIZO’s outputs are openly accessible, actively used and packaged for reuse, and that a pragmatic, “federate-then-syndicate” path is in place for continued collaboration and uptake beyond the project’s end.
