Content is great. Suggest a standardisation of formatting throughout (line spacing etc). I will send you the introductory presentation for the project later (arrow bullets in red, for consistency between us). You could also send this to the rest of the partners for comment.

mesa+ pulled out of the conference. Prof. Dragieva from the Bulgarian academy of Sciences is replacing them. don't know if we should include MESA+ logo or not, but certainly we could include bulgarian academy of sciences. Ineke and Prof. Subrahmanya suggested some others to contact, but probably it is not possible to include them in the presentation
