With just days to go before the Erasmus+ transnational meeting in Athens, the project team came together online on July 3rd to review final preparations and align details for the week ahead. These final moments of coordination reflect more than simple logistics—they represent the coming together of months of planning, collaboration, and shared vision.

As partners connected from Bulgaria, Türkiye, Portugal, and Greece, the atmosphere was focused yet optimistic. The upcoming meeting marks an important milestone in the project “Hydroponics, AI and IoT for Sustainable Education,” not just as a checkpoint, but as a launchpad for the implementation of tools, research, and training that have been in development across our countries.

During the meeting, Manuel Russo presented the finalized Scientific Chapter on Sustainability and Hydroponics—a core element of the project that brings together research, practice, and pedagogical insight.

The team also addressed final questions about the Europass certificate process, recognizing the variations in how these are issued across countries. While procedural details differ, the goal remains the same: to formally acknowledge and validate the learning experience participants will gain during the meeting.

The countdown is on—and with it, the opportunity to turn shared ideas into shared impact.
