On March 28 and 29, the TRACE consortium met in Reutlingen at the BOSCH facilities for the first Catrene review (March 28) and the first review of the German consortium (March 29).
Accompanied by sunny weather, the TRACE consortium received excellent marks from both, the Catrene board and the German national authorities. Noting the strong and committed consortium and the large expertise it comprises, the reviewer especially emphasized the very good cooperation between industry, SMEs and academia as well as between the five different countries of the consortium – Austria, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden.
The reviewer were further impressed by the large amount of participation among the 35 partners of the consortium and the very good project management by the TRACE coordinator BOSCH. It was commonly accepted, that a huge project impact is to be expected when exploitation starts early 2018.
