The meeting began with a brief update on the activities carried out and those planned within the various Work Packages. This was followed by a focused session dedicated to the preparation of the Periodic Report, where partners discussed recent developments, milestones achieved, and the overall impact of the work completed so far.

​Significant time was also devoted to identifying upcoming priorities, assessing potential risks and corresponding mitigation strategies, and brainstorming ideas to foster greater interdisciplinary collaboration—both across WPs and with external consortia and initiatives working in related fields.

​The scientific discussions were further enriched by 3 keynote lectures, which provided valuable insights and inspiration for future collaboration. These included presentations by Prof. Bart Rutten, from Maastricht University and coordinator of the YouthGem project, Prof. Henrique Barros from the Institute of Public Health, University of Porto and Prof. Judith Homberg from the Radboud University.

​Overall, the meeting represented an important opportunity to consolidate the consortium’s shared vision, exchange experiences, and plan the next stages of the HappyMums project.
