Work package leaders then took the floor to share updates. Robert Miskuf, CEO of PEDAL Consulting, introduced the company and highlighted its achievements in managing various projects across different sectors and programmes.

Following the successful completion of the first two work packages—focusing on state-of-the-art and conceptualization (WP1) and Algorithmic risk assessment and human-centered design (WP2)—which also outlined the requirements of the end-users of the ITHACA platform, the discussion shifted to the technical aspects of the project. Topics covered included communication, dissemination, and the exploitation and sustainability of project information.

Key discussions mainly focused on:

  • WP3: ITHACA platform design and development
  • WP4: Pilot implementation & evaluation
  • WP5: Conformity assessment tools, policy recommendations, and guidelines
  • WP6: Dissemination, communication, and exploitation
