After a successful kick-off meeting in Thessaloniki in January 2019, our consortium met for a second time in Brussels in order to assess the status of the project, reflect back on the previous semester and look ahead for what is coming up.

This time we had the chance to meet at the premises of EBN in Brussels. The city welcomed us on the 28^th and 29^th of May. During this two-day meeting, we covered the progress done in all work packages and had fruitful discussions, yielding useful conclusions for our next steps. The first day was dedicated to Management and Dissemination activities of the project, while the second day involved all the representatives of the consortium in a broader discussion. The latter revolved around those activities that had to do with the definition of our key data sets and rating indicators for our Technology Rating System, the selection of the specific pilot cases and the set-up of our InnoRate Platform.

Furthermore, the main insights regarding our use cases and the Platform emerged during fruitful discussions with the members of the Advisory Board that participated in our Co-creation workshop, which took place on the morning of the 28^th of May, before our project meeting. You can read more about it in this article of our news section.

It is clear that we have a long way to go before our pilot cases are all set, but seeds have been planted and we expect to see the first results during the next months. We left the meeting with the feeling that sound foundations have been laid and we are now ready to effectively engage in the exciting work approaching during the second project’s semester.

Needless to say, keep coming back to the website to follow the developments. Things are getting exciting!
