Highlights and impulses from the CoRe-Net projects

Afterwards we heard highlights and impulses from the CoRe-Net projects (LYOL – C II, MenDis-CHD II, OrgValue II). The speakers picked up various highlight topics from the respective projects and explained them. These topics ultimately provided the impetus for exciting and fruitful audience discussions. This gave the audience the opportunity to interactively deal with the respective issues, while the researchers were given the opportunity to view the topics from a different perspective.

A highly relevant topic in view of the approaching end of the project. In groups, the participants discussed possibilities to sustainably consolidate the results, structures and offers of CoRe-Net even after the end of the project.


Conclusion and thanks

After an event that lasted several hours and was characterized by interaction, those present exchanged views on the events and upcoming topics and projects over hot and cold drinks and hot soup in the spirit of the network character.

We look back on a successful general meeting in presence and are pleased that the event focus on interactivity has been completely successful. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all speakers and participants for their contributions, their interest and the lively exchange.
