On 9–10 June 2026, the REBELION consortium met in Spain for a two-day General Assembly hosted by project coordinator Universitat Politècnica de València. Taking place between Alcoy and Valencia, the meeting represented an important milestone as the project enters its final months and partners intensify their efforts towards the successful completion of all planned activities.
Day 1 in Alcoy
The first day was held in Alcoy, at the Universitat Politècnica de València’s campus. The morning was dedicated to a comprehensive review of all work packages, allowing partners to assess the progress achieved in recent months, identify areas requiring additional effort before the project’s conclusion, and align priorities for the final implementation phase. These discussions were particularly valuable in clarifying interdependencies among work packages and strengthening collaboration across partners involved in shared tasks.
In the afternoon, participants visited the UPV laboratory facilities and attended a demonstration of the Safety Container developed within the project, providing an opportunity to observe key technical developments firsthand and discuss their integration within the broader REBELION framework.
Day 2 in Valencia
The second day took place at UPV’s main campus in Valencia and focused on planning the next steps towards the project’s final objectives. Special attention was devoted to the System Validation and Use Case Study in the Pilot Plant, one of the project’s most significant activities and a task that requires close cooperation among all consortium partners.
To facilitate productive exchanges, dedicated working groups were organised around specific topics. Their conclusions and recommendations were then presented and discussed with the entire consortium, helping to define a common path forward for the remaining months of the project.
Beyond the technical activities, partners also agreed on a number of strategic actions related to communication, dissemination, and exploitation, ensuring that REBELION’s results will reach relevant stakeholders and maximise their impact beyond the project’s lifetime.
Conclusions and next steps
The General Assembly confirmed the strong commitment of all partners to achieving the project’s goals. The meeting took place in a highly collaborative and constructive atmosphere, combining focused technical discussions with valuable opportunities for networking and team building. As REBELION approaches its final stage, the consortium remains fully engaged in delivering the project’s innovative solutions and ensuring the successful completion of all planned activities.
