Support for Research Excellence
Vasiliki Kalodimou (PRAXI Network / FORTH), Greek National Contact Point (NCP) for Horizon Europe presented the widerAdvance Facility. The discussion provided the META-TOO team and other attendees with valuable insights into how the widerAdvance community assists in the dissemination and uptake of project results, ensuring that research impact extends beyond the consortium.
Participation in such events is a core component of WP4 (Research Networking), helping to establish the META-TOO project within the broader European research ecosystem and fostering collaboration with other Twinning excellence hubs.
