A new ROMANDIC project milestone has been reached with the start of the visit of Mahed Dadgostar from IRI – Institut de Robòtica i Informàtica Industrial, CSIC-UPC at Jozef Stefan Institute.

During the month-long secondment, we will work on learning of dynamic handling of textiles.

A workshop on the topic of the organization an help of project offices in order to support researchers was held in Sitges, Barcelona, on June 12th and 13th. In two days of discussions and presentations partners from JSI, CSIC and KIT presented their project offices.

The participation of people from the project offices is what made this event special, as hands-on experience and organizational structures, ideas, gender aspect and outlooks were shared by the people really working in these fields.

Thanks to CSIC for the great organization and an insightful event in a very picturesque location!
