On April 2-4, The DARE Consortium met in Malta, hosted by The People for Change Foundation, bringing together the international partners from the project.

The first day was kicked off by welcoming the new Project Manager, Charlotte Jones, as well as an overview of obligations, deliverables and deadlines for the project. The meeting included presentations of the progress and work carried out so far on the different Work Packages for DARE, as well as possible synergies between them.

Further training was also delivered on Nvivo coding, in view of starting the process of analysing the research interviews. Issues around ethics, safety and security were discussed as well as data management. The Steering Committee, the Ethics Sub-Committee, the Impact Sub-Committee and the Security Advisory Board also met.

As well as building on discussions of the DARE Policy Forum (held on 2 April), the two-day Consortium meeting had a strong focus on definitions and terminology, and how the DARE research should be disseminated and published in an accessible way.
