The End of the 2nd Year Meeting of the GREENLand project was held from December 9th to 11th, 2024, in Galway, Ireland (University of Galway) in the attendance of 15 representatives from the consortium.
Consortium partners gathered to discuss and prepare further actions for the project’s third year. This meeting was an excellent opportunity to summarise the previous period’s GREENLand accomplishments and collaborative efforts.
The two-day agenda was intense and included overviews of each work package, presentations of the main activities and next steps within each task. The primary focus of the attendees was planning for the upcoming period with discussions.
The partners will strengthen capacities to focus on increasing knowledge, using technologies to prevent, detect, and purify microplastics, and how this project can contribute further to environment safety in knowledge transfer.
