The meeting commenced with the welcome address from Professor Demosthenes Polyzos, Vice Rector of the University of Patras (UPAT) for Research and Development, and continued with the presentation of the meeting agenda by UPAT. A brief presentation of each participating institution followed.


The meeting was organised in sessions, during which participants delivered presentations addressing all aspects of the activities foreseen by the GPP4Growth Application Form (AF). At the end of each session, active discussion took place, enabling participants to clarify issues, introduce considerations, set directions, and reach decisions by consensus. The meeting concluded with a mutual understanding of the expected by each partner work for the 1st semester and plans/suggestions for immediate actions that need to be done for the following semesters as well.
