meSch project achieves first milestone
The project’s first annual review meeting with EU project reviewers took place on March 24th and 25th 2014 at the Allard Pierson Museum, Amsterdam. Having already had a long review preparation weekend on the 22nd and 23rd of March, it was a very demanding few days for all of the participants who had traveled from all over Europe to attend the review meeting. Fortunately the hard work paid off and it resulted in a very successful outcome for the project.
During the first day of the review each Work Package leader gave a presentation on the progress of their Work Package throughout the first year 1 of the project. This was followed by a series of question and answer sessions and plenty of discussions between the reviewers and project members.
Following this representatives from SHU, USTUTT and WAAG demonstrated their meSch prototypes to the reviewers in the ‘Greek World’ section of the Allard Pierson Museum, using objects and content from both the Allard Pierson Museum itself and the other meSch museum partners, Museon and the Museo Storico Italiano della Guerra.
