Consortium meeting

Between the 24th and 25th of January 2024, the IMPRESS Project H2020 consortium members gathered for the final meeting. The meeting took place at KNAUER headquarters in Berlin, Germany.

We were delighted to see each other and to explore the KNAUER facilities, which were really IMPRESSive. Our project officially ended on February 29, 2024. During the meeting, we discussed the finalization of the project and shared updates on the research progress. This 4,5-year collaboration has been a truly insightful and innovative experience.
