research necessary to develop a sound FIND ME platform. The Partners agreed to further analyse the findings of the FIND ME survey and semi-structured interview to be disseminated to the scientific community.

Matteo Perissinotto (OKKAM),  presented the technical architecture of the platform, including its multilingual and modular design, and highlighted the data gathering based on previous research and stakeholder inputs. Then, the Partners discussed how to engage universities in the project, also considering the resources available at www.whed.net. Nenad Stojiljkovic (University of Nis) proposed to increment the visibility of FIND Me through promotional gadget with the project logo (e.g., bags, notebooks, patches, etc.), whereas partners will keep sharing posts and pictures of the project activities and communication/dissemination.

At the end of the meeting, the Partners had the opportunity to visit the museum of winter sports and the sky jumping trampoline.

More information on the project will be provided during the 2025 EAS Conference to be held in Riga, Latvia, next October 6-8.
