On 13th – 14th March, 2025, the partners of the MEDNIGHT consortium joined Brussels to participate to the second kick off meeting of the project, with the aim to plan in a coordinated way the activities to be performed during the second year of the project.

The dates have been chosen so as to finish the meeting activities with the participation to the Mediterranean Science Team Gala, so celebrating mediterranean scientists al together.

Except for Kadir Has University and Monastir Science Palace, who joined the meeting remotely, all the other partners enjoyed the possibility of discussing in person and also to reinforce the strenghtness of the consortium by means of convivial moments.

All the already performed activities, related to the five Work Packages of the project, have been extensively discussed, in order to deeply understand what should be implemented during 2025, and all the partners contributed to the discussion with helpful and important suggestions.

Comparing the different experiences, the cultural differences between partners, the geographical peculiarities of each venue has been very useful: for each activity common aspects and necessary differences have been highlighted, and the plan of the future activities has been build by taking into account all of these items.

As a result, the consortium seems strenghtened and the concept of mediterranean science seems to continuously grow and expands itself.
