The mid-term meeting with the Project Officer (PO) for the HumanIC project occurred on March 17, 2025. This meeting was conducting online. It was essential for assessing project progress, verifying Doctoral Candidate (DC) recruitment, and reviewing financial/administrative aspects. Contingent on submitted deliverables, including the progress report, it allowed for problem identification, ensured alignment with funding goals, and provided flexibility in case of recruitment delays through possible postponement or staggered meetings.
