On Wednesday 8th of March 2017, the Kick Off Meeting of the European project Neohire took place  at the Delegation of the Basque Country building in Brussels (Belgium) . More than 20 researchers met in this Kick off Meeting to draw up the project and to set up the work plan for the following three years of research, which the main aim to reduce the use of rare earth elements in the manufacture of magnets for wind turbines.

It  lasted for one day,  and every partners will be duly represented.
