The latest edition of the TRICK General Assembly took place on June 27-28, 2023. This year, the scenic city of Trondheim, Norway, served as our backdrop, with our partner SINTEF graciously hosting the assembly.
Day One: Review and Recognize
The first day of the assembly was devoted to reviewing the various work packages of the TRICK project. Partners took turns presenting their updates, discussing both the triumphs and trials experienced to date. This platform for knowledge exchange underlined the essence of our collective effort.
The day also featured a tour around SINTEF's Trondheim facilities. Understanding the broad scope of SINTEF's research pursuits left all partners inspired and invigorated.
To balance the intense discussion sessions, the day concluded with an exploration of the beautiful city of Trondheim and a relaxed dinner at a traditional Norwegian restaurant.
Day Two: Strategize and Streamline
The second day centered on planning the way forward, particularly prioritizing the immediate tasks ahead of the summer break. The assembly included our technology and service providers, research experts, and industry end users, leading to comprehensive discussions on six key services enabled by our platform:
- Preferential Certificate of Origin (PCO)
- Product Environmental Footprint (PEF)
- Circularity Assessment
- Health Protection Compliance
- Social and Ethical Assessment
- A.I. for Anti-counterfeiting
As the assembly came to an end, partners collaboratively outlined the roadmap for the project, effectively setting the pace for the next phase of our journey.
