The European OPTOlogic project held its first in-person CGA meeting in Benasque, Huesca, at the “Pedro Pascual” Science Center on March 9th and 10th, 2023. Notably, ICREA Professor of ICFO Dr. Jens Biegert and project manager Judith Salvador from ICFO organized the successful meeting to unite the entire project consortium. The primary objectives of the meeting were threefold: first, to share updates on each work unit’s current status and progress; second, to present and learn about the diverse results and latest advancements; and finally, to foster discussions to exchange ideas and find solutions to complex challenges in the project’s final stages.
Furthermore, this CGA meeting marked a significant milestone as the consortium’s first in-person gathering since the project began in September 2020. The productive two-day event provided a valuable platform for consortium members to engage in discussions and collaboratively address potential theoretical and experimental changes. Consequently, these in-depth conversations and collaborative efforts were crucial for ensuring the project’s continued success and advancement towards its ultimate goals. Moreover, the meeting fostered a sense of community and renewed motivation among the participants, who departed with a clearer vision for the project’s remaining tasks. In addition, the picturesque setting of Benasque further enhanced the collaborative atmosphere, providing a serene environment for focused discussions and the exchange of innovative ideas.
