Afterward, Mrs. Rückert introduced the progress of the 1st semester and the outcomes of the peer review workshop in Kozani. She introduced the newly developed peer review concept with study visit, learning conference, and learning effect session to sensitize the stakeholder for their participation and for finding other suitable experts.
Furthermore, the activities of EMOB in the 2nd semester were mentioned and how they are affected by national regulations as well as changed working conditions due to the corona pandemic.
