A major milestone in IMPETUS...

From 3 to 5 November 2021, the City of Oslo was host to the first Acceptance Pilot. As the first face-to-face meeting since the start of the IMPETUS Project, this was an auspicious occasion and celebrated by all who attended. It was a success on all levels, for all participants!

Those that attended got the chance to delve into IMPETUS tools and gain a deeper understanding of what the platform can do already, but also what it can do in the future.  This meeting gave partners the opportunity to demonstrate their tools and technologies in practical situations. A live demo of the Weapons Detection tool was also on show, and undoubtedly added to the excitement of this momentous occasion.

Having been in mainly virtual meetings up until recently, this Acceptance Pilot gave partners the time to get to know and understand each other - an aspect of the project that we had not yet be able to do. The project dinner on Thursday (4 November) evening was the opportune time for everyone to mingle. There were many smiling faces and lively conversations going on. This Oslo Acceptance Pilot has certainly set the bar for the next one in Padova.

As Joe (Project Coordinator) put it: "I think we can now say that we really are a team".
