During the session, WP leaders reported on the progress of their respective areas and announced the next steps for the coming period. Iniciativas Innovadoras, project leader of WP5, presented what have been done for the communication and dissemination of project activities and for raising awareness about the importance of de-fossilizing the agricultural sector.
