On July 1-5 2024, MEWS-researchers Yael Amitai, Muhammed Shikhani, and Jorrit Mesman attended the Physical Processes in Natural Waters (PPNW) workshop in Girona, Spain, and Jorrit presented a poster about the MEWS project. PPNW is a comparatively small workshop/conference, but brings together research around the topic of aquatic physics and creates an open atmosphere for (early-career) researchers to present their research and discuss this with peers and experts. We received good and constructive feedbacks on the issues and challenges that MEWS is addressing, and established connections for future contact as MEWS progresses.
