• General Assembly

  Organized by the project coordinator, Instituto de Telecomunicações, the first in-person QuantaGenomics General Assembly was held on 22nd December 2022 and took place in Aveiro, at IT - Aveiro University, and was attended by the majority of the partners (IT, SU, CBR, ICFO, and UPM). The event aimed to join teammates and partners to discuss the running tasks and activities, in addition to defining the following steps according to the work plan for each stage. Prof. Armando Pinto and Nelson Muga chaired the session that had several presentations, distributed over the different work packages: Nelson Muga, IT – WP1; Verena Yacoub, SU – WP2; Paula Alonso, ICFO, and Sara Mantey, IT – WP3; Laura Ortiz, UPM – WP4; Mário Grãos, CBR – WP5. During the session, it was possible to bring the results of the work is being done since the beginning of the project. The representatives had the opportunity to share with their colleagues the work status, discuss new ideas, and plan further steps.
