From September 16 to 18, the partners of the ADT4Blue project, including GAIA, gathered in Zarautz for a series of in-person meetings to review the progress of the project and to plan the upcoming activities. These sessions proved to be invaluable for addressing various topics, including the progress of the different work packages and the management of the first open call.

During the meetings, participants took the opportunity to reach agreements on several key issues that had not yet been fully addressed. The sessions also provided a warm welcome to new members of the project, facilitating networking and collaboration within the consortium.

The ADT4Blue consortium is composed of a diverse group of organizations, including companies and universities from Spain, France, Ireland, and Portugal. This collaborative partnership leverages the expertise of its members to drive forward the project's ambitious goals.

From the Basque region the partners are Deusto University, Urola Kosta and Gaia.

This meeting marked a significant step forward in the ADT4Blue project, showcasing the commitment and collaboration of all partners to achieving the project's objectives and contributing to the sustainable development of the Blue Economy.
