Bio-CCU kickoff recap

The Bio-CCU project has officially kicked off! 🌱

On 17–18 August, the Bio-CCU consortium came together in Stockholm for our two-day project kick-off, bringing partners from across the Central Baltic region together to officially launch the project and begin working towards our shared goals.

During the kick-off, we:
🔹 Got to know our partner organizations, their roles and expectations
🔹 Worked together on the implementation and management of WP1–WP4
🔹 Shared and discussed the draft of the Communication, Dissemination and Exploitation Plan
🔹 Explored key project activities, stakeholder engagement, data needs and dependencies between partners
🔹 Discussed research activities and future publication opportunities
🔹 Visited Värtaverket for a showcase and knowledge exchange on carbon capture

The two days were a great opportunity to exchange knowledge, clarify responsibilities and strengthen the collaboration between our partners. Most importantly, we now have a shared foundation for the work ahead.

A huge thank you to all our partners for the energy, ideas and commitment! A huge thank you to all our partners for the energy, ideas and commitment!
