The meeting was coordinated by Prof. Papadakis and started by introduction of each participant and giving general information about the current state of project SYNAGRON. It was emphasized that the project has covered about 1/2 of its total duration (without extension), thus a good review and further precise organization of the work is necessary for the overall success of the project. The presentations and discussions have as follows:
