On 19^th and 20^th January 2017 the VESSEDIA consortium met at the Kick-Off Meeting in Paris. The first day was dedicated to get to know each other and to organize the further collaboration of the project partners. Afterwards the technical work packages were presented. Discussions and socializing continued during a common dinner in a less formal atmosphere. The second day focused on use cases and tools and ended with discussions on the next steps in the project.
