In addition, a Youth Breakfast took place on Day 2 with the aim to create a discussion platform for young researchers who have been actively involved in and/or in research topics connected to the MICROPROD project.
Overall, the MICROPROD Final Event will brought academics (including young researchers), statisticians and institutional experts together with policy-makers, to discuss the major final outcomes of this project.
