The Onto-DESIDE project officially started on June 1st, but on June 20th and 22nd we finally had the online project kick-off, marking the start of the joint work in the project. The kick-off was attended by all Onto-DESIDE partners, as well as external advisors, and our Project Officer (PO) from the EC.
In the kick-off meeting, we had presentations from all partners, introducing their organisations and stating their expectations of the project. Our coordinator, Eva Blomqvist, presented an overview of the project, and work plan, and the consortium discussed next steps in terms of use case analysis and requirements elicitation in WP6 and WP2.
Our PO, together with the Project Manager Svjetlana Stekovic, also presented important information about project administration, reporting and finance.
Despite having an online meeting, we had lively discussions, and this marked a great start of our collaboration and work together in the project. Now we look ahead towards the first f2f meeting in September!
