The first DISCO General Assembly of 2025 was held online over two productive days, on 26th and 27th March 2025. This virtual gathering brought together all project partners to reflect on recent achievements, share key updates, and align on the next steps for the project’s development.
A central highlight of the meeting was the progress made on the Meta Model Suite. This essential tool is now available, with its user interface design fully completed. Its launch marks a major milestone for the project and sets the stage for broader implementation across partner activities.
The spotlight also turned to the Starring Living Labs, as their implementation phase approaches its conclusion at the end of April 2025. Each lab provided an in-depth presentation of their work to date, showcasing innovative solutions, lessons learned, and the impact generated within their local contexts. Their insights are helping shape the foundation for the next phase of the project.
Attention is now gradually shifting towards the Twinning Living Labs, which are preparing to build on the experiences of their Starring counterparts. They, too, shared updates on their progress and outlined their upcoming plans, highlighting the growing momentum across the DISCO network.
In addition, key contributions were made by POLIS, ALICE, and Rupprecht Consult, who presented their efforts to build strong connections between DISCO and other relevant European projects. They also provided a recap of recent training sessions delivered as part of the knowledge-sharing and capacity-building activities.
Strategic links have been established with several prominent initiatives, including:
GREENLOG, deployEMDS, DECARBOMILE, ACUMEN, URBANE, SENATOR, and UNCHAIN. These collaborations are helping to expand the reach and impact of DISCO, while fostering synergies across the mobility and logistics innovation ecosystem.
Lastly, the DISCO Knowledge Platform continues to grow, offering a central hub for insights, resources, and updates from the project. The platform is publicly accessible here and serves as a valuable tool for stakeholders and the broader community.
As DISCO progresses through 2025, the General Assembly reaffirmed the commitment of all partners to collaboration, innovation, and achieving lasting impact in urban logistics and mobility.
