Due to the time difference, not all overseas partners could join, so the University of Otago (NZ) plans were reported by the project coordinator Teodora Kirova. Opening speeches were delivered by the Rector of the University of Latvia, prof. Indriķis Muižnieks and Director of the project coordinating institute Inga Šīrante

During the meeting the coordinator Dr. T. Kirova presented the overall Q-DYNAMO progress, as well as spoke about ‘Training, Transfer of Knowledge and Networking’, ‘Project Management’, and ‘Impact’.
The WP leaders Prof.D.Ciampini Pisa), Prof.J.H.Denschlag (Ulm) and Prof.S.M.Wimberger (Parma) made a summary of each WP progress, including the publications resulting from the research activities.
All secondees presented shortly the results of their secondments, as well as discussed with the PA their experiences during the secondments, e.g. interaction with the host group members, transfer of knowledge, and intercultural experiences.
