The Management Committee met for the second time in Florence on the 21st September 2024. The meeting was attached to the annual EAAP conference. At the meeting, we learnt about the Action progress in the first year, budget and reimbursement rules, and working group progress. We also learn more about related COST Actions – already running Actions EU-Li-PHE and ECO4ALL, and a newly funded Action GIN-TONIC. We finished it all with an Italian dinner!
