The kick-off meeting marked the official start of the SWEET project and set the foundations for our collaboration on socially aware service robotics. Over two intensive days, representatives from academic and industrial partners came together to align on the project vision, governance structure, recruitment strategy, training program, and dissemination plans.

We were pleased to welcome our EU Project Officer, who provided valuable guidance on the project framework, contractual aspects, and next steps. Key decisions were made regarding supervision, secondments, consortium governance, and the upcoming recruitment of doctoral candidates, ensuring a clear and shared path forward for the network.

Stay tuned as we move ahead with the next network-wide activities of the SWEET project!
