At the end of the first year of the project CODES (CO-Design for Sustainability) implementation, project partners met to have a transnational project meeting. The TPM took place from 13-14 December 2023, in the City of Faenza in Italy. The event was organized by the partner Romagna Tech.

Representatives of the partner organizations participated in the event. The meeting started with project management and cooperation issues. Then partners discussed the design and development of the Codes collaborative tool: specifications and requirements. At the end communication issues were discussed. Partners then visited Angelo Vintage Palace Archives, where they were introduced to a business model that promotes sustainability.

The next day, the partners defined the dates and activities for the first half of 2024. They discussed different methods of implementing project activities and agreed on formal and informal meetings. The host organized a visit to ISIA Faenza (The Higher Institute for Artistic Industries in Faenza (ISIA)) where the partners got acquainted with the University’s way of functioning, their focus on ceramics, sustainability, and new technologies.

We are looking forward to new project activities and challenges.

The project was funded by the European Union (Creative Europe Program).
