LESGO’s last General Assembly in Torino
The LESGO team celebrates the last meeting before the project’s official ending in May, in the Italian city of Torino.
After three and a half years, the LESGO project is coming to an end next April 30th. Funded in 2019 under the “Future and Emerging Technologies” call of the Horizon 2020 funding scheme, the project started in November 2020 and was recently extended for six more months to focus efforts on making up for the lost time due to pandemic constraints on global production.
After useful and fruitful visits to Barcelona, Israel, Copenhagen and Donostia, this time partners gathered in Torino to celebrate the last Consortium General Assembly. The meeting started on Monday at the Fiat facilities, where partners shared the latest project outcomes and started to prepare the final documentation. The team had the opportunity to learn about the results of the citizen engagement studies and discussed the plans for disseminating and exploiting the results beyond the project’s ending.
In the afternoon, the team took a tour around the Stellantis offices and laboratories, where they could learn about the ongoing developments by the hand of the researchers. On the next day, the team visited Hysytech’s new offices guided by Freddy Liendo and Alexandru Morosanu, and took a picture together with the LESGO prototype.
After the two-day meeting, DBT colleagues led a working session to discuss potential visions for a near-future hydrogen landscape. The multi-criteria assessment workshop focused on mapping the challenges and sketching the potential solutions for overcoming the technological and non-technological barriers, as attendees foresee, that would need to be overcome to achieve a LESGO-fuelled heavy transport and shipping sector.
