The project has 14 partners from 6 countries, including universities, research organizations, small businesses, and NGOs. They bring diverse expertise and experience to the project and cover a wide range of geographic, climate, cultural, and socio-economic contexts. The partners have specific roles and fulfill different requirements in the project. They are reliable and experienced, with previous involvement in similar projects and international operations. Personally, I think this project is so interesting because the partners are so diverse and are so geographically dispersed. So I would like for you to talk a little bit about the partners with a brief description where they are located and what type of partner they are if they are universities, small business, small medium enterprises and so on. Okay, this is a good question because in fact I think we stand on the partners' contributions and the consortium includes 14 partners, 12 of them are beneficiaries and we have two associated partners. And they come from five European countries which are Portugal, Greece, Germany, the Netherlands and UK and also we have Peru in Latin America and therefore we are covering a broad range of geographic and climate, also cultural and socio-economic context. In terms of role, these partners, three of them are research and technology development organizations. We have two that are education and research including medical and health science organizations. We have five SMI, we have one public body and we have three NGO organizations. So as you can see the consortium offers an exceptional combination of competencies and networks that are suited to implement the work plan and to achieve the expected outcomes and impact from HOS. Also when we started joining these partners, we were based on the principles of complementarity and transdisciplinarity. So every partner fulfills specific requirements or needs in the project and all of them are notable for high levels of reliability, expertise and experience including in previous projects or international operations and also in the practice that we will be using in NatureLab.
