The CHANGER project held its 4th physical plenary meeting, which took place in Fredrikstad, Norway, on 10–11 September 2025, hosted and organised by NORSUS (Norwegian Institute for Sustainability Research).

The meeting brought together all consortium partners to reflect on achievements to date, exchange knowledge, and coordinate future steps. The main objectives of the plenary were to:

• Present and assess the results and progress achieved across the different work packages
• Define and plan upcoming activities in line with the project’s strategic objectives
• Prepare for the forthcoming European Commission review of the project’s first reporting period

Over the course of the two days, attendees engaged in in-depth discussions on the status of the project, shared valuable insights from their respective areas of expertise, and worked collaboratively to align on priorities for the next phase.

Participants had also the chance to enjoy a guided tour of the beautiful Old Town of Fredrikstad, a perfect reminder of the value of culture and history alongside innovation and research.
