On the first day, the consortium members discussed current topics and challenges of the various subprojects, while on the second day a workshop was held for the members of the stakeholder committee. This NAMIBIO meeting was the first in which stakeholders were also present. The NAMIBIO consortium would like to take this opportunity to thank you once again for the valuable input and exchange.
