Kategorie: Meeting

This week, all consortium members and 11 ESRs met together to celebrate the successful end of the project. Ioanna Peppa, the EU project officer from Brussels, could also join the online meeting and was impressed by the stunning results.

The ESRs had the chance to present their research highlights they had produced over more than 3 years. Some of them have already completed their PhD, some will finish them in the next months.  Additionally, an overview of the network workshops and the numerous publications was given. The meeting was closed with an overview on the reporting tasks for the members that are due in the next weeks.

During the Vienna Talk 2022 conference, a special session was organised where VRACE ESRs presented their research to all conference participants and other visitors.

Furthermore, a public tutorial course was held, where Maarten van Walstijn (QUB) discussed several aspects regarding the design of virtual acoustic instruments.

Finally, a farewell event was organised, which consisted of a series of team-building games in Stadtpark, a large municipal park in Vienna, followed by a go-cart race in-line with the project’s acronym.

For the first time since the last two years, the consortium met in person right before the start of Vienna Talk. The hybrid setting allowed to join the meeting from abroad, too.

Main topics were the final steps for the amendment process and the planning for the last year including outreach activities and publications.

The next VRACE Technical workshop will take place at ENSTA Paris on May 18-20, 2022.

Provisional Agenda:

For the second time the Board Meeting took place virtually. 17 members of the consortium and the coordinator’s team discussed topics like the upcoming mid-term meeting, the planning of the secondments and outreach & dissemination activities. 

Due to the Covid-19 outbreak, it was not possible to meet at Facebook Labs in Seattle in April 2020.  So the MDW organized two virtual team buildings to get to know each other better and discuss synergies among the students. They took place on June 25th and October 21st in 2020. Additionally, it is important to meet virtually as most of the students do their research from home during the pandemic.
