Experiencing Europe Lab introduced its works on 5th-6th May during the International Kick-Off Meeting which was chaired by the University of Opole. The meeting started with the introduction of FORTHEM Experiencing Europe Lab by Dr. Barbara Curyło – Lab Coordinator, followed by the presentation of FORTHEM Labs by Dr. Tamás Péter Szabó – Scientific Manager for FORTHEM Lab Actions.
On 5th May, one session of the meeting was designated for presenting seven Experiencing Europe Local Labs within all partner universities, after which the most hoped-for session took place – brainstorming.
