<strong>NECCTON's first virtual science meeting was a great success. Providing an opportunity for the whole team to gather and share details of scientific advancements in the first six months of the project. </strong><br />
<br />
All partners joined the meeting along with colleagues from other EU Horizon projects <a href="https://www.futuremares.eu/" target="_blank">FutureMARES</a> and <a href="https://www.actnow-project.eu/" target="_blank">ACTNOW</a>. The agenda for the day was wide ranging covering topics from machine learning and model biases, to micronekton dynamics and bloom phenology. This was the first time the whole NECCTON team has gathered since our kick-off meeting in January, giving us a opportunity to share and discuss our work, ask probing questions and develop are connections. <br />
