Impressed by the @efsa.europa.eu building, meeting facilities, thought about architectural detail (incl. placing outdoor work stations where building’s midday shadow is). Happy people in good ergonomic setup work better! EU🇪🇺funds well spent on supporting efficiency (x sun, food, and coffee via 🇮🇹)
