FIGURE Project teams gathered at the University of Padova in Padova, Italy, at the end of August 2026 for a study visit and working meetings. Partners reviewed progress across ongoing work packages, exchanged perspectives and agreed on the next actions to support coordinated project implementation.
A key part of the discussions concerned preparatory work for consumer research in Italy, Egypt and Turkiye. The teams considered proposed approaches for focus groups, surveys and complementary neuromarketing studies, including sampling, ethical procedures and the coordination of the next research steps. Proposed actions regarding communication and dissemination activities were also discussed.
The visit strengthened cooperation among partners and created a shared basis for the project next implementation phase. Special thanks to Prof. Dr. Luca Fasolato, Prof. Dr. Stefania Balzan and the University of Padova team for their generous support and kindness throughout the organisation.
Why It Matters By linking work-package planning with consumer research, communication and dissemination priorities, the study visit helped turn shared ideas into coordinated actions for the next phase of the FIGURE Project.
