On March 16, 2024 the consortium meeting of the Erasmus+ CBHE (Strand 1) project called “Competences for International Innovation Projects” (CompIIT) took place. The meeting was organised and hosted at Fachhochschule Dortmund, Germany – one of the European partners of the project. Project partners were gathered together to discuss the project’s current status and its deliverables after one year of the project runtime.  

The meeting started with an introduction about the city of Dortmund and sharing some historical facts, then moved on to introducing the participants and their organizations. A major portion of the meeting was about managing dates and progress of the tasks including setting deadlines and agreeing on deliverables. Quality assurances were also discussed, and some guidelines were set for maintaining them. The participants engaged in discussions and networking activities during the meeting and afterwards with a walk in the city center where they got to experience Dortmund first-hand.
