All EMERALD partners participated in the 2nd General Assembly on 6 and 7 March 2024. The two days meeting were hosted at Tecnalia premises in Derio (Bilbao), Spain. Participants who could not travel were able to follow the GA online, through the Teams session organized for that purpose.

All the main open technical, business and communication related issues were discussed and decisions were agreed with a strong commitment to foster innovation and excellence through collaborative efforts. As a conclusion a decision was taken about the 3rd GA which will take place on 19-20 June 2024 in Karlsruhe, hosted by IONOS.
