On July 1st and 2nd, the consortium partners of the ASSIST Project gathered in Dublin for a two-day Transnational Project Meeting (TPM). The meeting was an opportunity to review progress across all work packages, align on next steps, and reaffirm our shared objectives for the months ahead.

On Day 2, partners also met with representatives Disabled Women Ireland, a disabled persons organisation advocating for the rights of  self-identified women, girls and non-binary/genderqueer/gender non-confirming people with disabilities in Ireland and The Irish Maternity Support Network (IMSN), a non-profit organisation set up as a resource to provide information and support to all accessing and involved with the Irish Maternity Services. This exchange of knowledge and lived experiences provided invaluable insights into the realities faced by mothers with disabilities, helping ensure the project remains inclusive, impactful, and guided by real voices.

We extend our sincere thanks to REDIAL, one of the project’s consortium partners, for hosting and creating such a memorable experience.

We look forward to the next TPM, which will take place in Salerno, Italy, in early 2026.
