On May 3rd, 2021, a meeting with Larry Biegler (CMU) and Victor Zavala (UW), external professors of the project, took place through Webex. A summary of the main topics and results of the projects were shared with them and a discussion of possible improvements and future collaborations were posed afterwards.

On January 25th and 26th, 2021, all the researchers of the project (from Valladolid, Madrid, Burgos and Vigo) met through Webex to discuss about the recent advances of the different work packages. All packages have almost fullfilled the objectives established at the beginning of the project and several publications have been sent to different journals.

On September 21st and 24th, 2020, all the researchers of the project (from Valladolid, Madrid, Burgos and Vigo) met through Webex to discuss about the recent advances of the different work packages. In particular, the following topics were discussed:

• Modelling, MPC, scheduling and distributed simulation (FMI/FMU) of the sterilization section of a tuna-canning factory.
• Improved model of the press stage in a medium-density fiber-board (MDF) factory.
• Decomposition methods for large-scale optimization problems.
• Modifier Adaptation for RTO in a Splitter propane-propylene of the Petronor oil-refinery.
• Hydrogen network model of the Petronor oil-refinery for predictive simulation.
• Systems Integration and software demonstration.

Taking into account that most of the researchers attended the “Jornadas de Automática” at Ferrol, the kick-off meeting took place on 09-06-2019, at Campus Ferrol-Esteiro of the University of A Coruña. The agenda was:

• Revision of case studies and activities performed.
• Discussion about the project management platform.
• Official incorporation of researchers to the project.
• Next meetings calendar.
