On 3 December, our technical partners met at Fraunhofer IOSB in Karlsruhe (Germany) to discuss the current state of the tools developed for FALCON. Subsequently, all partners gathered for a plenary meeting from 4 to 5 December, including a hands-on session in which the end user partners could test the tools and functionalities.
