As of today, we have 12 papers by #ModConFlex researchers on our website.
That is on average one paper every two months since the start of our #MSCA project - great. Thanks to everyone for their contribution!

The first #ModConFlex network meeting took place in Nov 2023 at the University of Twente with 12 researchers (PhD students) and their supervisors.
The researchers stayed for some days of learning.

In June, we met for several days in the south of France for management and training - and also our project's mid-term check - at a place with sea view. That didn't hinder serious work to get done but also made the breaks very enjoyable.
