First official meetings of EdiCitNet City Teams (MS1)

Milestone Nr: MS1 First official meetings of EdiCitNet City Teams

Milestone lead beneficiary: Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology Spain SL (RMIT)

Work package: WP1 Urban Governance and Network Infrastructure

Date of achievement: October 2019

Means of verification (DoA): Each FRC and FC will generate an individual EdiCitNet City Team. The EdiCitNet City Teams will include, as a minimum, the municipal government and administration, local civil society and NGO representatives, and private sector (SME) peak bodies. These local decision-making groups will constitute the core of EdiCitNet City Teams and will be responsible for implementing the project in each city. The first official meetings of the individual EdiCitNet City Teams are the beginning of intensive work at the local level. At the same time the foundation is laid for the further development of the superordinated Edible Cities Network.

Has this milestone been achieved?  Yes.

Following on from these iterative and processual steps, we confirm that the first official City Team meetings, signalling the beginning of intensive work at the local level, have been held. These events have been recorded through the minutes of both large meetings and regular smaller check-in meetings with WP1 (RMIT, UBER) and WP4 (BOKU), the latter of whom collaborated with WP1 to combine their efforts to benefit both WP1 and WP4 tasks.
