On 5 September 2024, Professor Lara Frumkin hosted a team meeting at The Open University offices in Edinburgh. The meeting marked the six-month milestone of the project, and it was a valuable opportunity for the team to meet face-to-face, foster personal connections and allow for in-depth discussions about the project's progress. These discussions also highlighted the potential outcomes of our work, igniting a sense of excitement and motivation among the team.

On 6 September 2024, the team fostered a strong sense of collaboration by holding a joint meeting with another UKRI-funded project, the 'Towards A Smart Digital Forensic Advisor To Support First Responders With At-Scene Triage Of Digital Evidence Across Crime Types' led by Dr Mark Warner from the University College London. Following the successful Launch event in March, the Trust and Triage teams met again to exchange ideas through briefings and mixed-team activities, strengthening the spirit of teamwork.

This two-day joint meeting was a significant step towards our shared goals, allowing for a close collaboration and exchange of ideas between the two projects. Each team was given a small activity that would help the other team achieve its gaols.

The two teams had the chance to enjoy a meal in Edinburgh and commemorate this wonderful opportunity for collaboration.
