This was our face to face kick off meeting in November 2021, hosted by CIOFS in Rome, who organised an excellent transnational project management meeting with inputs from all partners, review of the Intellectual Outputs design and timeline, Dissemination Strategy and Quality Plan. That was a great opportunity to get to know each other, clarify any questions about the project tasks and responsibilities, and encourage team bonding to boost our engagement with our project and ensure a smooth communication going forward.
