SYNAPSE’s face-to-face meeting took place in Oslo, during 28 and 29 of May, with a tight and highly productive agenda which included all work packages along with social events to foster synergies. Partners made the most of this meeting, introducing current status and advances on their work packages, and discussing key issues. High participation on each presentation led to exceeding the scheduled slot on most of them, however these fruitful discussions provided valuable insights. The amazing hosts provided an excellent location for this meeting and organized a social dinner which proved to be a superb occasion to get to know partners and strengthen ties, resulting already in closer collaboration. This plenary has been a highly productive experience which has also enhanced  collaboration and relations among partners.
