Last week Laura Armayones from Eurecat and the FITTER-EU project presented at the "Elevate Your Innovation with EU Projects" event, organized by the Mobile World Capital Foundation. This event gathered numerous key stakeholders from the innovation and digital humanities ecosystem, who showcased their organizations and major projects to explore potential synergies. Laura introduced the scenario-based approach that FITTER-EU will employ to study the impacts of the twin transition on various key sectors and vulnerable groups.

FITTER project is actively involved in the International Conference on Engineering, Technology and Innovation that is taking place between 24 and 28 of June in Madeira, both as supporter and presenter. The article entitled “Inclusive Sustainability: Strategies for Sustainable Digital Solutions in the Twin Transition for Vulnerable Communities” was presented by Joao Sarraipa. The article introduced the concept of FITTER project, its goals, planned steps, as well as analysis of recent challenges related to the twin transition. The aspect of inclusiveness has been the central point of discussion, as the twin transition might sharpen the social issues causing tensions in the society. In this regard, inclusive sustainability becomes a significant factor in the success of twin transition. The conference provided a good chance to discuss the project-related issues within the professional community.

The Kick-off meeting of the whole FITTER consortium took place on 6th and 7th of February. During the meeting, activities planned within different Work Packages has been presented. First day was mostly devoted to the variety of organisational issues, whereas during the second day planned activities within different Work Packages were presented and discussed. Among the issues addressed were: conceptual framework and methodology, inequalities risk assessment, FITTER platform development, as well as upcoming validation and dissemination activities. The project advisor from the European Commission had also attended the meeting and provided a set of valuable advices to be considered in the course of the project. The next big consortium meeting is planned to be held in the end of June or the beginning of July.
