It was great to meet again in person after so many months seeing each other online. FIRST partners met at l’Aquila on September 24th 2021. Despite the Covid-19 situation a lot of joint activities were carried out; we discussed the results obtained in these last 6 months. We are looking forward to have other in person meetings. #l’Aquila #FIRST #SDM #Photonics #passion4photonics
