Partner Meeting 30 June 2022

1. Opening and welcome

Welcome to the partners in Groningen and the partners online.

2. Follow-up from yesterday

• We want to send a message about conclusions from the TraCS3 project to the responsible persons in Brussels.

• We have outcomes of TraCS3 with regards the common work we did and common understandings we built up. Therefore it is wise to bring stakeholders to Brussels (political level, educational level, regional level stakeholders). It is up to the partners who they want to bring. It is stated in the budget how much money is assigned for the event in Brussel.

• Collaboration within TraCS3 and other projects: discuss the possibilities of working together from region to region. Other regions outside the TraCS3 project can be invited as well.

3. New application / follow-up project

A presentation was given about the discussions of yesterday afternoon. A report will be written. Look into working together in the future. Funded by regional money or European funding.

Based on infrastructures, eco-systems.

The project group sees much more value in the collaboration than the TraCS3 project alone.

4. Closing

Willem closes the meeting and wishes everyone safe travels.
