FORCE REPAIR 6th Progress Meeting in Graz

FORCE REPAIR consortium gathered in Graz from November 26th to 27th for its 6th Progress Meeting, warmly hosted by JOANNEUM RESEARCH. Now at month 35, the meeting provided an important opportunity for partners to align, share updates, and plan the next steps in this exciting phase of the project.

Project coordinator dr Damien Dupin presented an overview of the project’s progress so far, highlighting key achievements and the collaborative efforts driving the project forward.

Over the two-day meeting, partners shared key developments, exchanged insights, and engaged in productive discussions, reflecting the essential contributions of each member to the project’s advancement. In addition to reviewing technical progress, partners discussed dissemination activities and planned publications, while also defining clear exploitation pathways to maximise the impact of the project’s results.

As part of the meeting, Ivana Vuka, Senior Innovation Manager from RISE led an exploitation workshop, guiding partners through strategies to maximise the project’s long-term impact. The workshop encouraged discussions on sustainability, uptake, and how project results can deliver value beyond the lifetime of FORCE REPAIR, helping partners identify opportunities to ensure the project’s outcomes reach their full potential.
