Transnational Meeting 2: Háskóli Íslands, University of Iceland, Iceland

Transnational Meeting: November 2021

Host:

Háskóli Íslands / University of Iceland (Iceland)

Attendees at the Transnational Meeting held in Iceland in November 2021

The REVAMP team met for a two-day transnational meeting on Wednesday 10^th and Thursday 11^th November 2021.

This was the first opportunity since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic for the team to meet in person. Each partner organization was represented at the meeting with a total of 14 team members attending and a further 4 members joining virtually.

Aims of the meeting:

– Review the overall progress of the project. Present progress of intellectual outputs.
– Identify strategies and action points to ensure timely completion of the project.
– Review quality committee documents and process
– Promote team engagement, cohesiveness and cultural awareness through acculturation activities.

The overall progress of the project has been delayed largely due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on team members’ workloads as they are all healthcare practitioners. We have implemented several strategies to ameliorate this delay. These include, but are not limited to, a renewed Gantt chart, clear short term objectives, newly appointed e-learning and website developers, re-organization of transnational meetings to provide regular in person meetings and access to support services (such as audio-visual expertise). The benefits of meeting physically compared to a virtual meeting have been identified:
