Seven months have passed since our mid-term meeting in November 2020, therefore it was high time for another virtual reunion of the NEWCOMERS consortium before the start of summer vacations.

The meeting, held on Tuesday, June 15, provided an opportunity to reflect on the progress made so far and redefine plans for the following year. A highlight of the meeting were plans for upcoming workshops with the NEWCOMERS case studies. Partners joined forces in a fruitful discussion about the approaches and methods that might be used, results and findings that should be shared to best collaborate with our case study communities.  

Additionally, the partners highlighted ad improved the projects involvement in Open Education and Open Science movements, with plans to make most of the projects output freely and easily accessible to as many people as possible by making use of existing open resource platforms.

NEWCOMERS consortium members are satisfied with the current results and achievements, and are looking forward to all the future developments.
