The CANMILK consortium was happy to meet on 22 and 23 of March 2023 at the VTT facilities in Espoo, Finland! During the two-day meeting, the project partners discussed different aspects of the work done in the first seven months as well as future challenges to come, paving the way for the next steps. All participants enjoyed the fruitful discussions and the opportunity to meet each other in person. The project coordinator VTT kindly hosted the meeting and also provided the partners with a tour at the VTT facilities. The next consortium meeting will be held online in August 2023.
