The project is however running from the 1st of September 2020 and its activities will close on the 30th of September 2022.

The MEETS project – Music in higher Education to dEvelop Transversal Skills – foresaw to have the first transnational project meeting at the premises of Collegio Borromeo to allow partners to get to know each other and to kick-start the project, making all necessary arrangements for a smooth implementation for the following two years. However, due to the restrictions imposed by CoViD-19 and to ensure the safety of all participants, the kick-off meeting was held online, split in two different dates: 13th of October and 19th of November 2020.

During these virtual meetings, partners have been given all administrative instructions on how to properly manage the project and how to carry out activities such as dissemination, exploitation and evaluation of the project, its results and products. Also, initial arrangements have been made to set up the research concerning Intellectual Output 1 (IO1).

Despite the distance, MEETS first project meeting has been a success! Partners actively participated and shared ideas, building a strong partnership backed by a firm willingness to make the project an opportunity for innovation and growth for students.
