The CATRINE project held its virtual kick-off meeting 30th of January 2024 which brought together for the first time all project participants to discuss the work of this new project.
Richard Engelen opened the session with a welcome from CAMS and introducing CO2MVS.
CATRINE Project Coordinators Anna Agusti-Panareda (ECMWF) and Michail Diamantakis (ECMWF) then introduced the CATRINE project aims and objectives. This was then followed by our EC Project Officer in Brussels about how the work of CATRINE fits in to the wider ambitions of HADEA.
The rest if the day comprised of partner introductions, WP presentations and very informative crosscutting discussions.
Though it was a virtual event, there was a good energy to be starting the ambitious work of CATRINE and to establish links to previous and current H2020 and Horizon Europe projects.
Anna comments " It was great to see everyone on the call. We are looking forward to a productive 3 years and to working with our colleagues from sister projects CoCO2 and CORSO. "
