Colleen Ward, Project Manager for COMPASS "We have run annual project seminars for the past 2 years so we knew this was going to be challenge to run a virtual seminar, but with the available technology and a lot of preparation, the format worked well and we got the discussion and interaction we needed to make it a success".
Naomi Wilson, Project Manager for MarPAMM "This event was the first major opportunity to show the level of synergy between MarPAMM, COMPASS and SeaMonitor and the benefit of future collaboration with other projects that work within the Interreg VA region. The collaborative presentations have showed the enthusiasm shared by staff in all 3 projects for their work, and this was evidenced by the positive feedback that we have received from those who attended the event".
