Second bi-annual HELCATS project Meeting

The second bi-annual project meeting was held May 2015 at Georg-August-Universität, Göttingen just prior to HELCAT's first annual meeting at the same location. This was also the first review meeting for the project and was attended by the EU project officer and external reviewer.
Each of the work package leaders presented the current status of activities and good progress was seen to have been made with all workpackages now having been kicked-off.
