Kick-off meeting of the AI4LUNGS project in Porto, Portugal
Future Needs participated in the AI4LUNGS project kick-off meeting on the 27th and 28th of February 2024, in Porto, Portugal, hosted by INESC TEC. In this project, Future Needs leads the Dissemination, Communication, and Sustainable Exploitation activities, focusing on project branding, and the development of a TRL9 Roadmap for innovation and exploitation planning.
During the kick-off meeting, all partners involved in the project had the opportunity to meet in person and set the overall tone for the project. The first day began with introductions among the partners, followed by a pleasant social dinner by the Douro River. The second day was dedicated to workshops and discussions covering a range of project-related topics.
The team of Future Needs was also working behind the scenes conducting interviews with project partners. The interviews will be later shared across various channels to raise awareness of the project and its impact on the healthcare sector.
