ECOBALLIFE’s First Review and Consortium Meeting

ECOBALLIFE recently achieved a significant milestone by successfully holding its first review meeting with the European Defence Agency. This pivotal event took place at AITEX’s state-of-the-art new facilities in the picturesque city of Alcoy, Spain, and marked a major step forward for the project.

AITEX, renowned for its research and development in circular economy, sustainability, and advanced manufacturing, played a crucial role in hosting the meeting. The consortium was given a comprehensive tour of AITEX’s innovative facility, which is equipped with cutting-edge technologies, underscoring its essential contribution to the ECOBALLIFE project.

The first day of the meeting was dedicated to dynamic discussions among consortium members. These discussions focused on reviewing achieved and ongoing milestones, assessing progress and achievements, addressing challenges, and planning the next steps for the project. A key highlight was the commencement of Work Package 6 (WP6), which focuses on the Proof-of-Concept Study, propelling the project into its next phase.

On the second day, the consortium had the honour of presenting their progress, results, and achievements from the first 14 months to the project officer from the European Defence Agency. The presence of the project officer and their valuable insights were immensely appreciated, providing crucial support and guidance for the project’s future efforts.

The success of this meeting would not have been possible without the dedicated efforts of José Gisbert, the AITEX staff, and all ECOBALLIFE partners involved in organizing the event. Their hard work and collaboration have been instrumental in driving the project towards its goals and fostering innovation.

As ECOBALLIFE continues to make remarkable strides, the consortium remains committed to advancing research and development in key areas, ensuring that the project’s outcomes benefit both industry and society.
