NATAE partners got together in Paris, between 21st and 23rd march aiming to precise the general data collection methodology, such as the criteria to be selected and the data to be collected to define typical farms in the different living labs, to explore value chain and consumer behavior and also to describe the conceptual model and the main assumptions that define the structure and the functioning of the future NATAE modelling system.

More than 20 participants (including on-line participants) from WP1, WP2, WP3, WP4 and WP6 contributed to build a shared proposition over field activities, while connecting different methodologies, tools and disciplines. This meeting is also to be considered as a preparation for the project KickOff Meeting to be held in Bari from 26th to 28th April.

The NATAE project consortium met for the first time, via video conference, on the 19th january 2023, for almost the entire day. The meeting had as objectives to: restate objectives of the project and establish a good understanding of the deliverables and related activities; present the living labs context and challenges in the project; clarify grant agreement requirements; present and identify relevant project management tools for NATAE implementation and governance and review the next activities of the project and associated meetings.

It was the first time the project time was able to be on the same space (even if virtually) and count with the presence of the Advisory Board. The meeting also had the participation of the project’ Project Officer and Research policy officers from DG AGRI.

The speakers were very clear on the information that was transmitted to the participants, so the meeting was really successful and the first step of the project team as a whole to implement the project.
