At the end of August, many participants from the  Bioindustry 4.0 team gathered for a three-day internal Webinar series, during which different work package leaders and experts presented more about their plans and approaches. 

The webinar provided informative talks and enabled helpful exchange between participants from widely divergent backgrounds.

The Summer Webinar ended on a high note, and participants are looking forward to meeting in person at the next annual meeting. Read onwards for the details:

• On the 29^th of August Antonis Kokossis (NTUA) & Antonio del Rio Chanona (Imperial College London) talked about digital shadows, digital twins, and their applications in the life sciences.
