Last week, the DECIDE consortium kicked off the new year by holding the third DECIDE (online) General Assembly. The meeting followed a two-tier approach, structuring the DECIDE progress based on the work packages on the one hand, and on the different data groups / pilot implementations on the other. This allowed all project partners to discuss the DECIDE project in all its aspects, filling the two-day meeting with enriching scientific discussions, including valuable stakeholder insights. See the agenda below:
