In large international projects like CarMen, success doesn’t happen by chance, it’s built through strong, consistent collaboration. That’s why the CarMen consortium, bringing together partners from 15 countries, holds weekly coordination meetings to ensure close teamwork, transparency, and aligned progress.
Each meeting is structured around the project’s Work Packages, following the timeline and responsibilities outlined in the original proposal. Weekly sessions typically include updates on ongoing tasks and deliverables, partner-led presentations on Work Package progress, open floor for troubleshooting and mutual support as well as clear definition of next steps and action points.
Meetings conclude with constructive exchanges, reinforcing the strong team spirit that defines the CarMen project. This regular rhythm of exchange plays a key role in achieving the project’s ambitious goals.
The CarMen consortium is not just managing tasks, but builds a shared vision, one week at a time and it believes that fostering a culture of open dialogue, shared responsibility, and mutual learning is essential for real impact. Regular meetings have become a powerful tool for ensuring smooth implementation, timely delivery, and collective ownership of outcomes.
Together, the CarMen partners are shaping the future of smarter, safer, and more sustainable border crossing, step by step, week by week.
