The MATTHEW consortium met on July 12th, 2016 at the premises of IMA in Prague (Czech Republic) for a one day technical and general assembly meeting. The aim of the technical meeting was a final alignment between the partners for the upcoming last months of the project, whereas the general assembly meeting targeted tasks related to the project internal management.
The technical meeting started off with a recapitulation of the past three project months. Within these three months the MATTHEW team submitted eight deliverables to the European Commission. During the discussions it was pointed out several times that the efficient internal review process is an important factor to keep the deliverables’ quality as high as possible. Afterwards IAIK presented their new publication that deals with Blind Signatures in the Standard Model, which fits very well to the MATTHEW context. The technical meeting was closed with an intense discussion about the remaining technical deliverables that have to be submitted until the project end. Therefore, responsibilities as well as deadlines for the contributions were defined.
During the general assembly meeting the project coordinator informed the project team about the upcoming reporting duties as well as the non-technical deliverables that will be submitted by the end of October 2016.
When summarizing the technical and general assembly meeting it can be said that is was a very important meeting in order to ensure successful last project months with respect to technical as well as administrative work.
