As we could not hold our third transnational project meeting in Palermo, we agreed to have a 2 days online meeting to progress in our project tasks. Even if not all partners could join during the whole meeting, we agreed on the most important tasks in our outputs and a common strategy on how to proceed even in times of Covid19.
It is true that the face-to-face contact has not the same quality in an online meeting compared to a physical one, the aspects of networking and social activities of project meetings are missing and technical problems with internet connections make the discussions more difficult – but the online meetings can also provide motivation to the project team to move onwards with the implementation of the project tasks.
