Our project has already started. We have had our first meeting, our kick-off in beautiful Oviedo at the University of Oviedo’s historic building. We had the chance to meet all the different teams that compose the consortium of the project. We also visited one of the pilot sites, Mina Ana, operated by Minersa. You can read more about it here.
