The meeting was organised by Aérial partner and began the evening before, with a very convivial dinner in an emblematic “brasserie” in front of the cathedral; then by a hard day’s work on the site of Aérial in Illkirsch. This day was organised around the assessment of the work of WP1: construction of the food models and WP2: construction of artificial microbial communities and to start the planning of the work of WP3: ecological network modelling; which will start in 6 months.

During lunch break, metasimfood partners were able to enjoy a guided tour of the impressive infrastructure (Feerix), unique in Europe, allowing advanced R&D in the field of decontamination with the Rhodotron (electron accelerator).
