The project meeting hosted by University of Edinburgh (2–3 May 2022) was one of the last one as the project will end in August 2022. The subject of this meeting was the presentation of the up-to-then results of the questionnaire research and the debate on the final report, which should be begun at the next meeting in Košice.
