On 26 November 2016, the members from all eight partner institutions and companies gathered at the offices of the Athena Research Institute to meet, greet and plan the work ahead. A year later, this time in Ireland, the team met again to follow up on project work to date and plan for the review of its first year in action. The 2017 gathering took place on 2-3 November in Dublin, where one of our partners, Noho, is based. The meeting took place in the Science Gallery in the city’s famous university, Trinity College.
