In addition to the hosting partner, five more partners from five different European countries joined the meeting: European Campus Card Association (Ireland), Fondazione ENDISU (Italy), ISIC (Denmark), the University of Aveiro (Portugal), and the University of Normandie (France).

During the meeting, the partners discussed the impact and dissemination topics, as well as the main administrative, financial and organizational aspects of the project, which recently went through some significant innovation.
