As we mark one year of the DILAPRO Project journey, we couldn’t think of a better metaphor than our climb up the Montagne de Bueren during our consortium meeting. This iconic staircase in Liège, with its 374 steps and steep incline, reminded us of the challenges we’ve faced and the progress we’ve made.

Just like on the staircase, not everyone climbed at the same pace, but what matters is that we all reached the top—together. This year has been a testament to the power of collaboration, resilience, and shared purpose. Each partner brought their unique expertise, perspective, and determination, and together we’ve laid the foundation for a truly innovative and impactful project.

Here’s to the milestones we’ve achieved, the lessons we’ve learned, and the exciting journey ahead. Thank you to all our incredible partners for making this first year such a success!

The climb may not be over, but with this team, we’re confident we’ll reach new heights.
