After two virtual meetings, the final General Assembly of VERIFY will be held physically in Paris from 9 to 11 of May 2022.

It will also be possible to attend the meeting remotely.

Registration is open at https://www.eventleaf.com/e/VERIFY_Final_Meeting.

This final meeting will be the chance to conclude on such a large project, to share the main results that were obtained by each WP, to have a final networking meeting with the National Inventory Agencies and to discuss the futur and legacy of VERIFY.
