On October 22-24, 2024, the BAG-INTEL consortium gathered for a 3-day face-to-to-face meeting in Thessaloniki, Greece to discuss the progress of the project and align on the plans for the coming months. The event, hosted by Fraport Greece, brought together nearly 40 representatives from 20 partner organizations. Project partners who could not make it in person, attended the meeting remotely.
During the three day gathering, presentations of technical work packages and updates on the status of the various tasks and activities took place. All technical partners had a chance to present their work and discuss plans for the coming months. The presentations were followed by brainstorming sessions that gave the consortium a chance to discuss open points and exchange experiences gained in the first year of the project. Besides, the meeting featured sessions covering communication, dissemination, and exploitation activities, as well as project coordination and management. The sessions were enriched by a tour of the Thessaloniki Airport ‘Macedonia’, which will host one of the project use cases. Among other areas of the airport, the consortium had a chance to visit the customs facilities and one of the arrivals lounges, which helped to clarify several open points related to the implementation of the planned use case. The team is now getting ready to install the required equipment.
