A Collaborative Start
The program introduced the goals and structure of the Knowledge Creation Team initiative, highlighting its role in supporting project ideation within the ACE2– EU Alliance. Interactive elements such as a rapid project idea round, and an open “project marketplace”, encouraged participants to share perspectives and identify areas of common interest.
