Project Progress Meeting (PM2) IPM-4-Citrus has taken place on 26th and 27th September 2019 at JKI (Darmstadt, Germany) with 11 persons. Nine partners were represented (JKI, LISBP, USJ, MEDIS, CBS, BIPCA) or by visio-conference (IPT, BIYANS, CTA). WSU and TWB were missing but state points have been previously done with each partner.
PM2 was divided in 2 days as described by working program including (i) administrative and scientific progress of the project and (ii) exchange and evaluation of secondments realised, cancelled, maintained but delayed, redeployed or new request. The main stakes were to define the next and/or new secondments (T0+30/T0+48months) highlighted by scientific and technical inputs in order to focus on achievable goals and make the best of the time left on conducting the project / strengthening actions. Following this PM, The consortium has submitted to the project PO, its final modifications (flushing, additional secondments) for validation and acceptance.
