University College Dublin hosted the first in person meeting of the EUROVA Consortium on 13th-14th October 2021. It provided an excellent opportunity for supervisors and early stage researchers to meet each other, introduce their projects, provide updates on their progress in the lab, discuss questions and find improvements. The EU REA Project Officers joined virtually on day one, to carry out the Mid Term Project check.

Following the Symposium on day 2, the ESRs travelled to Carlingford Adventure Centre in Co. Louth for a fun afternoon of team building at The Crystal Maze.
