End of the VTJ2 project
After 2 years of effort and commitment, it is time for the VTJ2 project to come to an end.
Its results will reach a wider public and will be used by the VTJ2 target groups.
As expected, this moment is extremely important and emotional for the partners involved in the project. The consortium shared a cordial working environment with interesting discussions and insights during the development of the final products.
