SUSTENANCE Joint Project Review & Consortium/General Assembly Meeting was held in the Netherlands in November’22

SUSTENANCE project partners met to present and discuss progress and/or the challenges related to the realisation of the work packages on 23rd & 24th of November 2022 in Enschede. The majority participated in person, while some were online – especially our project partners from India. These were two intensive days packed with the Consortium Meeting, a Lab Tour, the General Assembly, and importantly the Review Meeting. This covered the first 14 months of the project and partners provided their reports to the representative from CINEA – European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency.
The presentations on the four demonstration sites were initiated by the recently finalised videos. These provide informative overviews of the particular goals behind each of the demonstrator countries in the EU, and were finalised with constructive discussions on how to best move forward.

Thank you SUSTENANCE Dutch Partners for such a splendid organisation of this important project gathering!
