Six months into the project, it was time to see each other again. In September, the Early Stage Researchers and all project members had the opportunity to meet in Porto, Portugal for the Mid-Term meeting of the project and the second training school of the programme.

The first two days of the events were dedicated to the Mid-Term meeting of the project. The PhD candidates presented their research progress to all members of the consortium. The Head of RE-CITY ITN Prof. Dr. Karina Pallagst presented the progress on the project milestones to all beneficiaries and partners and also to the EU Project Supervisor Stanka Miteva. The Supervisory board of the project met to discuss key issues and the ESRs had the opportunity to exchange with the EU Project Officer on their progress and expected research results.
