The 2nd plenary meeting of the SENTINEL project took place on the 20th and 21st of January 2022. The meeting was hosted by the Coordinator, ITML, in Athens, Greece. Despite the constraints imposed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the hybrid nature of the meeting brought together most of the consortium members by giving the opportunity to make constructive discussions about both technical and non-technical subjects.

SENTINEL’s 2nd plenary meeting focused on the presentation of the results achieved so far and to produce a solid plan towards the 1st version of the SENTINEL technologies and services. The project Work Packages (WPs), the SENTINEL core services, the MVP release, were the hot topics that triggered a fruitful conversation among the partners during the first day of the meeting. A major part of the 2nd day focused on presentations and discussions on the status of Key Results (KR) and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), the SENTINEL pilot activities as well as the project’s communication and dissemination approaches.

The event ended up successfully, and it was very productive, as the partners discussed various subjects related to the scientific and technical advancements of the WPs, the SENTINEL architecture design, envisioned services and the organization of writing the upcoming deliverables.
