On 17 and 18 September, VERDEinMED partners and associated partners held our second face-to-face consortium meeting in Vila Nova de Famaliçao (Portugal). The meeting took place at the premises of CITEVE, a private technological institute focused on the textile industry.
The aim of the meeting was to share the progress made in the project during its first nine months of operation. With the vision of promoting textile circularity at regional and/or national level, and to cooperate between different Mediterranean countries, the second VERDEinMED Consortium Meeting also served to launch the next actions of the project.
25 Mediterranean entities
