• WP specific breakout sessions (Objective 1+2)
  • These sessions will be organised in 3 sets of 3 parallel sessions each.
  • Please make sure that your organisation will be represented in all WP breakout sessions your organisation contributes to, to make sure the whole team of your organisation gets a clear overview and understanding of the expected work contribution.
• WP presentations in front of the plenary (Objective 1+2)
  • These presentations will allow all partners to get a clearer understanding of the work within each WP, as well as of relevant links and interactions with other WPs.
• Networking sessions (Objective 3)
  • A total of 3 networking sessions of 15' each will be organised during the meeting: 1 session one Day-1, and 2 sessions on Day-2.
  • For each networking session, several networking rooms will be created in parallel and meeting participants will be assigned to the rooms to meet in small groups with around 8-10 other participants in order to briefly introduce her-/himself to each other.
  • If you are not sure what exactly to share with the other attendees in your room, below some ideas from us:
