P-WILL met for the first time in Barcelona in conjunction with the VIII Congress of Feminist Economy (March 14-16, 2023)

The COST Action P-WILL held its first in-person meeting in Barcelona last March 14-16, 2023. The 3-day program included a Core Group meeting, an MC meeting, WG meetings and a site event in the framework of the VIII Congress of Feminist Economy.

On March 14 and 15, Action members met at the Canódromo, a former dog race track located in the neighborhood of La Sagrera that, since 2016, serves as a hub for digital and democratic innovation.

In the afternoon of March 14, the Core Group gathered to prepare the MC meeting of the following day. Core Group members were able to discuss important issues relevant to the Action, including the setting up of coordination resources, upcoming activities and budget allocation for the first grant period, the results of the first call for Conference and Mobility Grants, and communication and dissemination channels in a variety of settings.
