The first day took place at the Center for Vocational Education Lolland Falster (CELF), Nykøbing Falster. The goal of this day was to get an overview of the progress of the project and to work on the exchange of results and cooperation between several work packages.
We were welcomed by Ole K. Larsen, 2nd Deputy Mayor of the Municipality of Guldborgsund and Mikkel Wesselhoff, CEO of Business Lolland Falster.
After an introduction by Nicholas Barnes and Ivar Dencker, both teachers at CELF, we could taste a new product developed by students. They made it in relation to the BIOCAS project.
After tasting the products of the proud students, presentations about how to make a success of a EU-project were given by Morten Karnøe (Stanford University) and Peter Lindgren (Aarhus University). Peter urged us to just start working on activities, so we did. The partners worked, divided into 5 groups, on the first steps towards BCA building.

The Introduction of day 2 was by the province of Fryslân. Followed by presentations about WP 4 and WP 5 by Jerke de Vries and Mette Jørgensen:
After some spare time we were given a tour at the visual climate centre. Again we were confronted with the impact of climate change on the planet and thus also on our regions. This showed us that the BIOCAS project is very relevant.
