Last week, the Push-IT consortium came together for 2.5 energising and inspiring days at the Fraunhofer Institute in Bochum, Germany. It was fantastic to reconnect face-to-face with partners from across Europe and realign around our shared mission of driving innovation and impact. A highlight of the General Assembly was the interactive poster sessions — a welcome new format that sparked great conversations and deeper understanding across work packages. Each site had a presentation together with all the technologies of Work Package 3 and Tessel Grubben.
