In short pitches, the seven research groups gave insights into their poster presentations, which all participants then visited in a self-selected order. The scientific and interdisciplinary exchange with the project leaders was again in the spotlight.

In the afternoon, the main focus was on the parallel group work: Here, participants focused on the further development of the content of new project proposals as well as on future activities within the initiative, such as laboratory visits at members' sites. The desire for deeper networking and the constant exchange of synergies should be taken into account here.

The meeting was rounded off with a get-together on the ZARM lawn - here the day's talks could be continued in a relaxed atmosphere with a cool drink.

We are pleased that we repeatedly came together in such a large group and thank everyone for their commitment!
