On June 3-5, 2025, the INITIATE HORIZON EUROPE PROJECT partners held the second General Assembly in Skopje, North Macedonia hosted by Ss. Cyril and Methodius University, Skopje, Macedonia. It was a productive and interesting three days where all the project partners met again and experienced Macedonian culture.
On the first day of the meeting, the partners presented the progress on their respective work packages. The second day was centered around a panel discussion and groupwork on green transition and digital transformation, with a tour of the Ss. Cyril and Methodius University later in the day. On the third day the partners held the R&I Lab Bridging Policy and Innovation: Research and Funding Synergies, where we learned about funding opportunities and North Macedonia’s Policy Landscape and R&I drivers.
Some member of the Iscte team was present, namely BRU-Iscte researcher Paula Vicente (INITIATE Local Coordinator), BRU-Iscte researcher Elizabeth Reis, and ISCTE-Iscte researcher Pedro Ramos.
