The HOPE Project's kick-off meeting took place in Athens on June 15-16th 2009. All partners attended the 2-day meeting at the Crowne Plaza Hotel and re-confirmed their will to dedicate their best-available resources in order to develop the project. Additionally, the partners agreed on the management methodology, the work packages and works per partner, and tasks were given to each of them covering their work for the next three months.

The next (technical) meeting will be held in Vienna on September 30th 2009, during the AAL Forum.
