From 16th to 20th January 2023, the UNCOVER partners met at the consortium meeting at the University in Innsbruck, Austria. The meeting focused on the progress and further steps within the project and provided an opportunity for partners to discuss important issues in person. Based on this fruitful exchange, partners decided to hold more regular in-person meetings in the future to foster closer collaboration among the consortium members. The second day of the consortium meeting took place at 1.905 m altitude at Seegrube, overlooking the city of Innsbruck and surrounding mountains. Despite the cold, spirits were high.
