Discussion and knowledge sharing with other ESCP-4x partnerships

On the 21^st of October 2020 BLUES Consortium organized Peer Learning Webinar (the first of five). The aim of this webinar was to share knowledge and experiences between ESCP-4x partnerships and also to identify how the partnerships could work closer together and how they can foster exchanges between their members. The host was represented by consortium clusters: Aqua Valley/France, BalticNet-Plasma Tec/Germany, Mazovia Cluster ICT/Poland, Nanoprogress/Chech Republic and ZINNAE/Spain. The invitation to PLW1 was also accepted by 6 ESCP-4x partnerships: CELIS, CLAMTEX, EXTREX, SAFE SMART FOOD, SMARTENERGY and SmartSports4GoodLife.

After presentations of each participant, the following issues were covered:

• impact of COVID-19 on the running of the projects; 
• implementation of exchanges, especially virtual,
• IT tool,
• how could the ESCP-4x partnerships work better together?

The discussion led to creation of common note with the comments of each partner, which after being made available to all 13 partnerships was passed on to the IT Support Office and the Project Officers.
