DArT’s first Collaboration Meeting gathered over 20 scientists from different European institutions and was extremely productive for the progress of the project. After the decisions taken, very important milestones will be achieved in the near future: the lead (Pb) belt will be installed in May and the ArDM detector will be refurbished later on. Operations will start after recommissioning the whole ArDM gas system and will prepare to host DArT in 2023.
