This 8th edition of our Annual Meeting was held in-person on the University of Ottawa’s campus. All participants were very excited to meet and interact in-person after two years. Our focus for this meeting was on identifying new opportunities for collaborative research. Each group was given a short 20-minutes slot to for this purpose, where 10 minutes were used to present and 10 minutes for questions and discussions. Extended lunch and poster sessions were held to promote informal interactions between attendees. In total, 100 researchers participated to this meeting.
