Summary of bilateral results
As for the area of bilateral relations, it appears that the involvement of the LDO partner did not have the initially envisaged dimension. It is also true that the project was implemented in the context of a Pandemic and that changes occurred in this partner''s team. For this reason, it is generally considered that the objectives set for the partnership in "Project discription" were generally achieved, despite the fact that, globally, it was limited to the holding of 2 meetings and the online participation of the partner on February 26, 2021 in the Matching event and online participation in the Project Closing Event.
