During a two-day plenary meeting in Vienna, the consortium of the EU TRACE project laid the groundwork for the project’s successful completion in summer 2026. The working sessions focused on networking among the partners and detailed planning of upcoming milestones.

A key focus of the meeting was the operational implementation in the pilot regions. There, the functionality of the TRACE platform will be validated using unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs). Intensive preparations are currently underway for the final test series in Modena (Italy) and Ljubljana (Slovenia) to ensure the practical viability of the developed solutions.

In addition to the technical agenda, the meeting provided an opportunity for personal interaction. The program concluded with a group visit to a Heurigen, which strengthened cooperation for the final project phase.
