On January 25-26, 2024, in Bologna (ITALY) , the first STRIKE MSCA Doctoral Network scientific meeting was held. Hosted by the esteemed National Research Council of Italy (CNR-ISSMC), this event brought together early-stage researchers and project beneficiaries to showcase their progress, exchange insights, and unveil exciting plans for the future.

Joining forces with STRIKE's visionary consortium were associated partners including WILEY-CVH, Stem Innovation, Cyclolab, and Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, igniting dynamic discussions and sparking potential collaborations that promise to reshape the landscape of research and innovation. During the event's agenda, the Mid-Term meeting between REA and the STRIKE consortium unfolded, with Roxana Paulovici, the REA representative, providing invaluable insights into the project's
development.

But the networking didn't stop there! The journey continued in Faenza (ITALY) , where the DC had a training/visit program in technology commercialization, management of intellectual property and portfolio of spinout companies given by STEM Innovation.
