In accordance with the agreed schedule, representatives of the University of Stavanger, the University Toulouse Capitole and the Autonomous University of Barceona convened on Monday 18th and Tuesday 18th to continue work on the project. The meeting commenced with a review of remaining issues from the previous meeting. Secondly, we addressed unresolved items from the work packages, including the potential for offering seminars that would be integrated into the official curriculum and the possibility of conducting master’s theses in a company or another university under the guidance of one of our three higher education institutions. Thirdly, we continued our discussions on the budget and the validation of the title. We were grateful for the valuable input from the UAB experts, in particular Xavier Biarnes, who provided us with invaluable assistance.

We also visited the Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals (ICTA-UAB) and had the opportunity to speak with its director, Professor Isabel Pont, about the possibility of future collaboration. The meeting concluded with the establishment of a future calendar, a strategy plan and a list of uncertain topics.
