Until this point, the individual companies, universities, local government bodies and organisations working together on this project had only met online via video conference call. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 18.75pt 0cm;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Lato',serif; color: #777777; letter-spacing: .2pt;\">Many partners travelled all the way from Japan to make the meeting, with others flying from other locations within Europe such as Greece, Portugal and France. Representatives included a number of professionals from different sectors, including researchers, PhD students and project managers, bringing a wide scope of experience to the meeting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 18.75pt 0cm;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Lato',serif; color: #777777; letter-spacing: .2pt;\">At the meeting, the partners (who you can <a href=\"https:\/\/msecproject.eu\/partners\/\"><u>read more about here<\/u><\/a>) were able to present themselves in person and solidify the work that had been completed up until now on their collective IoT, cloud computing, blockchain and big data solutions for smart cities. It was also a chance to participate in in-depth and dynamic group discussions facilitated by each partner&#8217;s presence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"background: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 18.75pt 0cm;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Lato',serif; color: #777777; letter-spacing: .2pt;\">In particular, the partners discussed in detail the use cases (or research pilot studies) which M-Sec will work on in both Fuijsawa, Japan, and Santander, Spain.
