The kick-off meeting of the CONSECH20 project held on 14-15 February 2019 at the Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics of the Czech Academy of Sciences (ITAM), successfully brought together representatives from all the 5 institutions that form the CONSECH20 consortium: ITAM, the Delft University of Technology (TUD), the University of Cyprus (UCY), the University of Genova (UNIGE), and the Institute of Sociology of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus (ISNAS), gathering a total of 15 participants.
To ensure networking between the CONSECH20 members, two social events were organized: an informal networking dinner on the evening of 14th of February in a restaurant in the center of Prague, and a guided tour to the Old Sewage Cleaning Station Museum – an important example of industrial architecture in Prague.
The main aim of the CONSECH20 meeting was to ensure that all the partners have a common understanding of the project and respective roles in it. The meeting was an opportunity for all partners to establish closer relationships, present their prospective contribution to the project, and align the main objectives and management formalities.
