The project kick-off meeting took place on May 2 and 3, 2023 in Montpellier. This meeting enabled some fifteen participants to get the project off the ground through discussion sessions. Topics covered included: scientific issues (presentation of each partner’s research and activity areas, discussion of identified obstacles, etc.), administrative issues (discussion of the workforce to be recruited, etc.) and study sites. The seminar also included a presentation of PREDICT’s objectives, operations and infrastructure.
