TRR 332 Kick-Off Retreat and First NeutroTrain Workshop

After a successful week of meetings, we are happy to share a few highlights from our annual TRR 332 kick-off retreat and the first neutroTrain workshop!

From November 3 to 6, we came together for the kick-off retreat – the first of the second funding period after the successful re-evaluation by the DFG reviewers – followed by the neutroTrain workshop on Z1 topics like imaging and analysis. We were lucky to enjoy a beautiful, sunny golden autumn throughout the days. It was a true pleasure to welcome 100 participants from all partner sites, and especially to meet many new collaborators.

All projects gave talks and presented posters, including the newly associated projects AP2 and AP3 by Artur Kibler and Mariano Malamund. We were also honored by the presence of three prestigious members of our Scientific Advisory Board – Andres Hidalgo, Sarah Walmsley, and Christina Stallings – who joined the sessions throughout the meeting and gave sharp scientific feedback, including valuable strategic input in a dedicated session. The days were packed with inspiring science, but also with a lot of fun: we went on morning runs together in the crisp autumn air, and a lively pub quiz mixed everyone into random groups – the perfect way to get to know each other and strengthen our community.

It was a wonderful start to the new funding period, and we are already looking forward to the next time we meet!
