A 3-day digital annual meeting was held with all project members, bar one, attending. PhDs and PDs presented their progress, and strategies were discussed for finalising their theses, and the many deliverables in the EcoGIV project. Some goals are already reached, such as the establishment of the PhD program at NTU, the gender module focus on mentoring and capacity development at UCC and IPB, and the LNOB efforts held both in Ghana and Cambodia.  The central issues remaining are the successful defenses of the PhDs and the publications of the PDs and the research group. EcoGIV members continue their hard work :-)
