ECOBALLIFE Annual Consortium Meeting

[Vila Nova de Famalicão] Our recent annual meeting demonstrated significant progress through in-depth discussions and collaborations. Here are the key takeaways:

• First External Advisory Board Meeting: We were honoured to welcome representatives from the Italian Ministry of Defence and Spanish Police units. Their insights and feedback are invaluable as we continue to advance our project.
• Stakeholder Workshop: Led by TECNALIA Research & Innovation, we conducted a strategic workshop to enhance our collaborative efforts and ensure all stakeholders are aligned with our project goals.
• Eco-Design & Simulation: We reviewed current and optimised solutions and continue to develop new eco-friendly designs.
• Personal and Platform Protection Systems: We are improving existing technologies and innovating new protection methods against current and emerging threats.
• Assessment & Validation Study: We continue to evaluate the durability, performance, and quality of our solutions.
• Environmental Assessment & Recyclability: We are concentrating on materials’ recyclability and environmental impact.

Supported by the European Defence Agency and funded by the European Defence Fund, ECOBALLIFE aims to strengthen European defence capabilities and the competitiveness of the European defence industry. Our ultimate goal is to develop new materials and technologies that provide high levels of protection against a wide range of threats, ensuring soldiers’ safety.

Thank you to all participants for their contributions and to CITEVE and Gilda Santos for hosting us.
