FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF THE STICS PROJECT

On April 1, 2026, we celebrated one year since the official launch of the STICS project. And although it might seem like an April Fool’s joke, the opposite is true – over the past 12 months, we have achieved many real and significant results.

During the first year, we held more than 55 internal meetings, forming a strong foundation for effective collaboration and project development. We actively engaged with the professional community – presenting at or participating in more than 33 events and showcasing over 21 research results and scientific publications.

An important part of our work was planning and achieving our goals. We submitted 7 plans, successfully delivered 13 outputs (deliverables), and reached 3 key project milestones.

We are especially pleased about the involvement of young people – 21 students actively participated in project-based work, and we were able to motivate and support them in their professional growth.

We also focused on communication with the public. Through social media, press releases, and media coverage, we shared updates about the project more than 48 times. In addition, we submitted 2 new project proposals, further expanding our activities.

We would like to thank all partners, collaborators, and supporters who are part of this journey. We look forward to another year full of new challenges, cooperation, and innovation.
