The first P4 FIT Annual Meeting and Summer School were organised in Paestum, Italy, on 8-10 June 2022. In the Annual Meeting we listened to plenary lectures and learned more about our ESRs’ projects and how they had proceeded during their first year. The Summer School was organised as an Innovation Forum where our partner organisations gave talks about the industry, legislation and commercialization and our ESRs had an opportunity to discuss with them. We also had amazing time networking during the social program: welcome reception by the pool, dinner at a buffalo farm and a visit to an archeological site.
