A major step was taken to consolidate the competence center: the founding meeting for the HUMAINE Network e.V. took place in the run-up to the spring trade fair on 11 April 2024. The network association secures the results achieved for regional transfer, facilitates the further development of the project consortium and lays the foundation for the existence of the HUMAINE competence center beyond the project duration.
The establishment of the network association had already been in preparation for a year before the framework conditions were finally agreed unanimously at the last consortium meeting. On April 11, 2024, the 23 founding members signed the association’s articles of association and came together for the first general meeting.

We are delighted to be taking this major and important step together with the entire consortium and are looking forward to the further development of our network association!
