In the course of the project implementation, there will be 5 transnational project meetings completed by 9 online meetings
Each transnational meeting will take place in the crucial stage of the project implementation, after the finalization of an important product or phase of the project, so as for the consortium to have the opportunity to discuss and analyze the activities done and set & coordinate activities which will be needed to be done afterward. They will play a key role, as apart from facilitating the development of the project outputs and defining the n.ext steps, they will support project monitoring, and provide an opportunity to strengthen the partnership, information exchange but also joint problem-solving. During every project meeting, the project management and financial issues (project timetable, reporting, communication, risks, financial issues) will be discussed. The progress in the implementation of the Promotion and Dissemination Plan, achievement of indicators, next promotional tasks, and activities will be presented, discussed, and agreed too. EUROSC will present the results of the quality control and evaluation based on which the project partners will make necessary decisions. Participants of the meetings will be employees of partner organizations responsible for the project implementation (project managers) and experts/ researchers and trainers involved in designing, developing, and testing of the project outputs, dissemination, and evaluation.
At least one month in advance of the meeting, OIC Poland will elaborate the meeting agenda (with the support of the host partner) and minutes.
KICK-OFF MEETING: At the beginning (2M), the Lead Partner will organize a kick-off meeting (PL) to agree on details of project management, time schedule, promotion and dissemination strategy, communication, evaluation, and reporting, and financial issues.

The process of tools’ pilot testing (O1-A3, O2-A3) and normalization will be also discussed. The elaborated training content of O3, O4, and O5 will be presented by responsible partners for the official approval of all project partners. This
approval will start the next stage of the development of e-learning applications to transfer the elaborated content of the O3, O4, and O5 into an e-learning environment. The project partners will define the timetable of the next activities. The 3rd project meeting will be also an occasion to discuss and define the selection criteria of trainers for joint staff training (C1).
