The DIGI4ECO consortium came together once again for its 30-Month Meeting, held on 21–22 September 2026 in Naples, Italy, and hosted by Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn (SZN).

Over two productive days, partners reviewed the progress achieved across the project, shared updates from the different Work Packages and Tasks, and discussed the activities and priorities for the months ahead.

The meeting provided an important opportunity to exchange ideas, address ongoing work and ensure that partners remain aligned as DIGI4ECO moves forward.

As part of the meeting, STRATAGEM presented the latest progress and next steps related to:

🔹 Work Package 9: Communication, Dissemination, Training and Exploitation activities.
🔹 Work Package 8: Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), techno-economic analysis and stakeholders’ engagement.

Beyond the project discussions, partners also had the opportunity to visit the Aquarium of Naples, part of Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn. As the oldest public aquarium in Italy, the visit offered a unique opportunity to learn more about its history, marine biodiversity and connection to marine research.

A big thank you to Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn for hosting us in Naples and for the warm hospitality, and to all DIGI4ECO partners for their active participation, collaboration and valuable contributions!
