The EuPRAXIA Yearly Meeting 2017 and 2nd Collaboration Week will take place on November 20th - 24th, 2017 at Instituto Superior Técnico IST, Lisbon, Portugal.

During the Yearly Meeting (Monday - Wednesday) all participants will have the chance to meet and update each other on work progress. The Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) will convene and give scientific guidance to EuPRAXIA. In addition, the Collaboration Board (CB) Meeting in which all partners are represented will vote on upcoming decisions.
The possibility for individual work package (WP) meetings will be given during the second part of the Collaboration Week (Thursday and Friday). The focus will be WP meetings across different WPs with common topics or interfaces. A final session will bring together the whole collaboration again, to discuss the outcomes from the Yearly Meeting, the SAC input, WP meetings, outstanding topics, problems and plans for the next period.
