The EARLICOST community has come together in Athens for the EARLINET GA & EARLICOST WG & MC Live Meeting, taking place from 8–11 September 2026.

138 participants from 26 countries have joined us in Athens, bringing together researchers from across Europe and beyond for four days of scientific exchange, collaboration and community building.

Over the coming days, the programme will bring together the EARLICOST Working Groups, Management Committee and the wider EARLINET community, with scientific presentations, grantee flash talks, Working Group sessions, engagement with industry, and discussions on exploitation, dissemination and the priorities ahead.

Today, we begin by bringing the community together, sharing progress across the Action and its Working Groups, and setting the stage for the discussions to come.

Welcome to Athens, EARLICOST!
