Third TRIREME Partnership Meeting

The TRIREME consortium gathered last week in Ostrava for its third Partnership Meeting - an engaging two-day session focused on strengthening collaboration and sharing progress across all Work Packages (WPs).

The meeting offered a valuable platform for partners to align on project milestones, exchange insights, and refine strategies moving forward. Each WP presented updates on current activities, key deliverables, and upcoming objectives, following an opening overview that provided a clear picture of TRIREME’s overall trajectory. 

Meeting Highlights:

- Project status update and Administration (WP1): the Project Coordinator provided an overview of the project's current progress, highlighting key achievements and upcoming milestones. He also addressed the administrative aspects, ensuring all partners are aligned with the timeline, budget, and reporting requirements, and offering guidance on next steps to keep the project on track.

- Skills Intelligence – Job roles and skills (joint WP2 and WP3 workshop session): In a collaborative workshop, all partners worked together to update and validate the list of job roles within the project’s competence matrix. Participants were divided into groups to discuss the relevance of each role, identify any outdated positions, and suggest key roles that may be missing or require revision.

- Training Offer Development & Gathering (WP4): all project partners took part in a productive workshop focused on reviewing and assessing the new reactive response trainings. Participants were divided into five groups, each assigned one of the new trainings to evaluate. The goal was to provide constructive feedback and suggestions for improvement, ensuring the trainings meet the highest standards of quality.

- Best practices & policy recommendations (joint WP5 and WP6 workshop session): the workshop aimed to gather information, ideas, proposals, and demands to be conveyed to national, regional, and European policymakers, highlighting the needs of the automotive sector. It proved highly successful, as participants engaged in meaningful discussions on potential initiatives to support upskilling and reskilling efforts within the sector. These efforts are essential to ensuring a smooth and successful transition for both companies and workers at all levels—regional, national, and European.

- A guided tour of the Mobility Lab of the VSB-TUO campus, one of the most advanced testing infrastructures in the Czech Republic. Located within CPIT-TL3, the Mobility Lab combines cutting-edge infrastructure with real-world testing environments. Highlights include a Smart Factory with Industry 4.0 technologies, an advanced automotive testing facility, and smart living spaces powered by renewable energy and IoT. The lab is fully supported by intelligent energy systems and high-speed data connectivity, linking it to a broader innovation network

- Dissemination and Sustainability Session (WP7): The WP Leader addressed the types of dissemination activities that all partners are responsible for, emphasising the importance of their active engagement to ensure effective outreach, visibility, and effective impact of the project’s results. To support this, WP7 presented a series of materials and practical guidelines designed to help partners fulfil their role in the project’s dissemination efforts. This was followed by an update on Sustainability and the Pact for Skills by the project coordinator.

Alongside the presentations, the meeting sparked dynamic discussions, encouraged collaboration, and set the stage for strategic action. The workshops were excellent opportunities for collaborative input, fostering the continuous improvement of our deliverables and reinforcing the project's commitment to excellence. With clear priorities mapped out across all Work Packages, the TRIREME consortium is geared up and ready to drive the project forward.
