The Phase V extension period began on 10 May 2025 and runs until 9 May 2027. Reaching the end of the first year provided an opportunity for consortium members to come together for the annual meeting.
The annual meeting took place over two days in early May in Santander and was hosted by IH Cantabria. Representatives from almost all partner organisations participated either in person or online, with the exception of our Ukrainian colleagues, who were unable to join due to the ongoing war and aggression against Ukraine.
The meeting focused on updates from the various Work Packages and partner organisations, prompting many useful and constructive discussions. A meeting report will be published in June, and work is currently underway on the interim report covering activities from this first year of the extension period, which is expected to be published after the summer.
