Project partners met online on 6 November 2023 to verify the activities related to the definition of the database of good practices. The main topic discussed was the possibility for the partners to identify enough publications related to interventions according to the division based on specific diseases. All partners confirmed that there are many publications and it will be possible to complte the task.
The third partners' meeting took place in Florence (PL) on 10 – 11 October 2023 and the main discussed topics have been:
• Definition of the steps to complete the Publication on the Local Comparison
• Definition of the calendar of activities for the creation of the database of good practices
• Analysis of the Dissemination and Valorization Activities
