The BlueArray consortium held the third physical meeting on 28-29 May 2026 at the International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory (INL).
During the meeting, each partner presented the current progress of their work package and outlined their plans for the project’s third year. Each session concluded with an open discussion where partners could ask questions and explore how their activities could be better integrated across work packages. The meeting concluded with a summary of the key findings and focus points identified during the discussions.
Participants were given a tour of INL’s fabrication and characterization facilities, where they were introduced to examples of previous research and developments.
We would like to thank all partners for attending the meeting and look forward to monthly online meetings and the physical meeting in 2027.
