During a breakout session in the afternoon, the team members were able to form smaller groups to intensify the discussion on relevant topics. All in all, the General Assembly Meeting offered a wonderful platform to get to know new colleagues from both locations, listen to fascinating talks and form new connections for future research. We thank all attending colleagues for making this event insightful, interesting and really communicative.
