In total, 11 participants representing nine project partners gathered to discuss the coming three years of work.
The kick-off meeting was divided into three parts:
a) Preliminary bilateral meeting during the ICWAS -2024 conference.
b) Presentations on the main project objectives, including working packages.
c) Field trip on the Zat River & the Olive Oil Industry (Marrakech region).
The three days spent together in Marrakech helped to provide a better understanding of the purpose, structure and expected outcomes of each work package, enabled the identification of main methodologies to be used in the project, validated the general project timeline and strengthened the collaboration between the partners.
