Projectathon agenda
How to register for the October Once-Only Technical System Projectathon
- 1
The Organising Team invites the National Coordinators register for the Projectathon event via an event registration form (using EU Survey). They share the link to the event registration form with each person joining the Projectathon from their team. It is mandatory for every participant of a Member State to fill in the event registration form (it is a pre-condition for getting access to the Gazelle platform).
- 2
The organising Team invites each of the persons registered in EU survey as participants to register in Gazelle. The MS team then identifies the MS Gazelle admin that will encode the organisation and users (team members) in the Gazelle platform (active participants only).
- 3
The MS Gazelle admin then select the relevant test session (October 2023) and add your System(s) Under Test (SUT) in the Gazelle platform (active participants only).
Past Projectathons
