Within the 1st reporting period, several research tracks were followed in parallel and in conjunction with specific goals within the overall timeline and targets of the project.
A highly significant initial effort was dedicated synergistically by all partners to define the user needs, and the most appropriate technologies within the consortium to target the most relevant, significant, and feasible to detect biomarkers. An exhaustive literature research was performed and from this, a subset of the most relevant, significant, and feasible to detect markers was selected as our prime targets. We believe that this effort and the produced detailed, concentrated and filtered information can be beneficial for the consortium but also for the greater scientific community.
To facilitate a smooth operation and efficiency in progressing the work, despite the pandemic effects, the consortium defined Technical Task Groups per WP that continued meeting regularly over virtual meetings to advance common research and development in a focused, problem solving, and monitoring fashion. This has led to the definition of strategies and tasks for the development, implementation and testing of our technologies. This effort provided the developments that made it possible to complete all deliverables on time and produce some new publications and conference presentations by the partners.
In addition, the project partners outlined and defined the strategy for achieving effective communication, dissemination, and exploitation of DynAMic foreground results with an evolving Exploitation Plan.
Within the 2nd Reporting Period significant progress has been achieved with accelerated development of technologies, integration of systems and proof of concept studies. All Partners have contributed immensely to achieve the current state of the project, with a large number of publications, conference presentations, exploitation of products, strong synergies and technologies that are ready to proceed to the next stage of implementation towards the objectives of the project.
This second period marks the achievement of significant milestones in terms of joint efforts and synergies towards common development of technologies and research studies, as well as research visits for knowledge exchange and common work, as well as focused research meetings.
In terms of the contractual obligations, all deliverables have been completed successfully and all milestones achieved on time.
The 3rd reporting period signifies the closure of the Dynamic project. In this last reporting period the microscopes in FORTH and TUM have reached a final stage where all technologies have been integrated and several studies have concluded. The combined efforts of all the partners have produced several high impact publications, numerous presentations and forged strong collaborations that will extend beyond the Dynamic project.
In the 3rd reporting period multiple milestones have been achieved promoting the synergies already established in the previous reporting period. Technology and protocol sharing along with intense knowledge exchange was achieved in focused meetings but also in the organized summer school.
Finally, three amendments to the GA were completed to include Linked Third Partied to CNRS and extend the duration of the project by 18 months due to the pandemic and equipment acquiring delays.
