On 28 November, EMERALD project and CUSTODES Project held a joint online meeting to explore potential synergies and collaboration opportunities within the EC3 cluster.
The session brought together representatives from both consortia to present their projects, exchange insights, and identify overlapping objectives. Discussions focused on finding ways to work together across several key areas, including:

• Dissemination activities to broaden the reach and impact of both projects
• Joint whitepapers to document shared findings and strategies
• Collaborative online webinars on specific technical topics of mutual interest
• Coordination around physical events to be organized by the EC3 cluster

Another highlight was the common repository of metrics supported by the EC3 cluster on GitHub, which partners identified as a valuable tool to facilitate future joint actions.
This meeting marked an important step toward closer collaboration between EMERALD and CUSTODES. By combining efforts, the projects aim to reinforce their impact, enhance knowledge exchange, and build aligned pathways for future joint activities.

Such initiatives underscore the growing importance of collaboration within the European project ecosystem, enabling projects to leverage each other’s strengths and generate greater collective value.
