UMi-TWINN kick-off meeting - February 2016
The kick-off meeting was held at the University of Miskolc (UMi) in Hungary the 4-5 February 2016. It was important to organise the kick-off meeting within the coordinator's premises in order to meet the Hungarian team involved in the project, visit the different laboratories and promote the socio-economic benefits of UMi-TWINN project to the Hungarian targeted audiences (e.g. scientific, industrial and general public).
The kick-off meeting was a real success and we can decently expect very good results for the project based on the motivation of partners and their willingness to develop a fruitful cooperation on a long-term basis. All the objectives of the kick-off meeting were achieved during these two days as presented below:

All the objectives of the kick-off meeting were achieved during these two days as presented below:
- The meeting started with a press conference local/national TV channels and newspapers. Therefore the project was promoted to a wide national audience.
- The institute of Logistics at UMi was well represented during the meeting: scientific staff, PhD students, administrative officers.
- UMi organised a site visit of their laboratories specialised in logistics technologies (e.g. 3D virtual logistics laboratory, simulation modelling lab and high-tech integrated logistics lab).
