At this first meeting with the entire centre´s team, this kick-off meeting is an important milestone and an opportunity to establish common goals and the purpose of the upcoming projects, and also to get to know each other. The programme has a combination of research presentations with time for discussions, time devoted to expand or initiate collaborations, and social activities and networking. 

This event is for the whole greater Integreat community.
