WP5 General Meeting in Nicosia: strengthening collaboration and shaping future activities

On 13-14 October 2026, WP5 partners met at the University of Nicosia for two days of discussion, collaboration, and strategic planning, focusing on progress towards key project milestones and the definition of future activities. 

The first day focused on reviewing the status of the NEOLAiA Research Framework and progress related to the mapping of research resources and synergies. Partners discussed ongoing activities, opportunities for collaboration, and the next steps needed to achieve the project’s objectives. Dedicated KPI sessions provided an opportunity to assess current progress, identify priorities, and discuss the corrective actions needed to keep activities on track. 

The second day built on these discussions, focusing on the strategic direction of WP5, the alignment of future activities, and the identification of key expertise, partner roles, resources, risks, and cross-work-package dependencies. The meeting also addressed the development of the project’s White Paper, supporting preparations for the final phase. 

Opportunities for informal exchanges complemented the working sessions, with coffee breaks, a social activity exploring Nicosia and visiting the Cyprus Museum, and a networking dinner. 

The onsite meeting helped strengthen collaboration among partners and laid the groundwork for the continued development of research activities and synergies within the NEOLAiA Alliance.
