The event was held at Aeronautics School (ETSIAE) located at Technical University of Madrid (UPM) and was the opportunity to launch the project. The meeting gatherated together the European partners and counted with the remote presence of the Chinese colleagues, who could not travel due to quarantine established in China as a consequence of the Coronavirus. Although the difficulties, the meeting resulted in a constructive and interesting discussion, as well as the opportunity to introduce each partner and its capabilities.
