The activities of the PECUS projects started with a kick-off meeting, hosted by the Lead Partner UPO (Universidad “Pablo De Olavide”) in Seville on the 13th of December 2019. The meeting aimed at laying the basis for a fruitful collaboration among partners and at ensuring a smooth implementation of project activities through the establishment of the project managing bodies, the sharing of reporting procedures, and the discussion on methodological and organizational issues. The next project meeting – to be held in combination with the first workshop – will take place in Newcastle (UK) between April and May 2020.
