The first offline meeting for OnCreate took place at TAMK, Tampere, Finland where Graham and Richard attended 2 days of intensive discussions along with representatives from the other 9 partner institutions. For the majority of the attendees this was the first time we had meet each other in real life and having worked together for a number of weeks online prior to this it was great to finally put names to faces and connect on a more social level.

Led by Bjorn Stockleben from Magdeburg, Germany, we spent the 2 days discussing the project as a whole, and forming small breakout groups who each took a key area to discuss and then report back during regular plenaries.

True European collaboration and the start of a great project.
