LIFE 2017 Projects Kick-off in Brussels
During the days 6th and 7th of November took place in Brussels the kick-off of all projects within LIFE program 2017. Representatives of OLEA REGENERA attended this meeting and had the opportunity to present the project in the presence of the rest of the projects of the same category, to see what the rest of projects approved in the LIFE program consist of, to treat with other beneficiaries and share impressions. Moreover, LIFE program commission reported on the points to be taken into account during the project and solved all doubts of beneficiaries.
On the other hand, we had the pleasure of meeting the EASME monitor César Seoánez during these days, who also gave us some advice for the good execution of LIFE OLEA REGENERA.
It was a great experience for the team and a great opportunity for the project itself.
