FRIENDSHIP M42 Meeting in Prague

On 21st and 22nd of November, FRIENDSHIP team got together for the M42 consortium meeting. One year after the consortium meeting in Germany, the consortium met in Prague (Czech Republic), hosted by Amires.

On the agenda over the two days, the consortium gave an overview of the work performed in the running Work Packages and planned the next steps towards the finalization of the project. More specifically, the consortium started to think about the organization of the final event, when the final workshop and the site visit will take place, in Grenoble (France).

In addition, RINA organized a workshop on the exploitation strategy of each Key Exploitable Results (KER). Besides, partners had the opportunity to brainstorm on the risk analysis of selected results. All the collected output will be part of the TRL9 Roadmap, which will be a public document.

The event was the right occasion to host the last External Advisory Board (EAB) meeting. All the EAB members joined the meeting and gave very valuable insight into possible funding possibilities for a follow up project and into collaboration possibilities in the last phase of the project. The presence, the interest, the participation, and the contributions of the EAB member, Dr. Thomas Ammerl (BayFOR), were particularly appreciated and were beneficial for the consortium, which had an external point of view of the project.

The project is ready to enter the last phase. Do not miss our future posts!
