Please spread the word and invite your colleagues! This symposium is open to all and THE opportunity to get in touch with the network towards publication of the database itself. We will soon start one final push for data submissions towards that publication, which we plan to finish in autumn 2023 (so this will be the final chance for anyone to contribute data and get an invite to co-author our big database). More information on this will follow!  

Looking forward to seeing many of you at our symposium!
