Pre-Kickoff Meeting, setting the stage for the SUNRISE Alliance

From November 18–20, 2024, the SUNRISE Alliance held a productive pre-kickoff meeting in Ancona, Italy, hosted by one of our esteemed partners, Università Politecnica Delle Marche. This gathering marked an essential milestone in our journey, as participants came together to review the preparatory work completed for each Work Package and to outline the key steps leading up to the official launch of the project on January 1, 2025. The meeting also laid the groundwork for the Kickoff Meeting, scheduled to take place in Ilmenau on January 14–15, 2025.

During this collaborative event, the working groups engaged in focused discussions to refine the operational framework for specific work packages. Particular attention was given to developing procedures for joint degree programs, mobility initiatives, and the design of efficient management structures and governance bodies. These discussions were pivotal in ensuring that every aspect of the project aligns with the Alliance’s strategic goals and vision for success.

The meeting also featured an inspiring on-site visit to the cutting-edge laboratories at Università Politecnica Delle Marche. This provided participants with a firsthand view of the advanced facilities and research capabilities that will contribute to the Alliance’s innovative efforts. The Pre-Kickoff Meeting in Ancona was an excellent start to this exciting journey, fostering strong collaboration and setting a clear path toward the impactful goals of the SUNRISE Alliance.
