Closing and Follow-up
Moderator Lasse N: “We were lucky that we could plan the event together with eFTI4EU project kick-off and thus the room was full of “eFTI believers”, but it was nice to recognize that the even those people who were not that familiar with eFTI yet were very interested about the topic. We as organizers of the event, are also very happy that we got so many interesting speakers to the event and they were able to share resent pioneering examples from their real world actions. So big thank you to all speakers and participants, lot has been done, but still there is much to be done.”
The event will conclude with a summary and closing remarks, inviting participants to continue the dialogue and collaboration beyond the event.
