First meeting with all partners in FH Münster
On 18–19 November 2025, partners of the ECO-merce project gathered in Münster, Germany, for the official kick-off meeting, marking the beginning of an ambitious collaboration focused on embedding sustainable marketing practices in e-commerce within the agri-food sector.
The two-day meeting provided an important opportunity for partners to get to know each other, align expectations, and establish a strong foundation for effective cooperation. A key focus of the discussions was Work Package 2 (WP2), where partners worked closely to align on core activities, ensuring both relevance and accuracy through collaborative input. This joint effort set the groundwork for developing high-quality, needs-driven project outputs.
In addition, partners addressed the transversal work packages, including WP1 on project management and WP5 on dissemination and sustainability. These sessions enabled the consortium to clarify roles, coordination mechanisms, and communication strategies, ensuring a shared understanding of how to manage the project efficiently while maximising its long-term impact and visibility.
By the end of the meeting, all partners had gained a clear and up-to-date overview of the project plan, key milestones, and upcoming priorities. The kick-off concluded with a strong sense of alignment and commitment, equipping the consortium to move forward confidently and collaboratively in the months ahead.
