Discussed were the SMEs&#8217; understanding of ESS relevance and how it evolved during the project. Building on this discussion, there was a peer exchange on using ESS valuation and other DESSIN results effectively in the SME\/business context. This included an analysis of needs per SME and strategy sketch of putting DESSIN results to use post-project. Lastly, relevant EU Programmes for SMEs and other opportunities to collaborate were discussed.<\/p>\n<p><!--more Click to read more--><\/p>\n<p>The second day started with a plenary meeting where the progress of the different work areas and demo sites was presented and discussed.
