The CROSSPATHS consortium met for the first time in Warsaw on the 21st and 22nd of May 2024 for their kick off meeting.

The Horizon Europe Crosspaths project aims to transform regional research infrastructures into international innovation hubs in food, health, and bioeconomy. Bringing together top research institutions (IARFR from Poland, Estonian University of Life Sciences from Estonia, and Universidade Católica Portuguesa from Portugal), this collaborative project will boost collaboration, foster innovation, and create health-promoting food solutions.

With support from Wageningen University & Research , we’re set to enhance our skills and build stronger connections across Europe. Innotrope will support our communication, dissemination, and exploitation efforts.

We had a very productive first meeting in the wonderful Staszica Palace, seat of the Polish Academy of Sciences. We planned for the next actions, heard from Polish NCPs and had a welcome speech from the President of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Prof. Marek Konarzewski. Above all, the consortium was able to meet in person and establish strong links for our future work together!
