More than 30 MAPPER project members joined the first All Hands Meeting of the MAPPER project. The event was organized by the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München and held at the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ) in Garching, near Munich. Alfons Hoekstra, associate professor at the University of Amsterdam and coordinator of MAPPER opened the meeting and welcomed the participants from all project partners.

The first half of the project meeting was spent on presentations dealing with MAPPER applications, services and tools, but also dissemination plans, sustainability strategies and managerial topics were discussed. The respective work packages presented their achievements and objectives for the future. The project dinner was served in a traditional Bavarian restaurant on the first evening and provided great opportunity for informal discussions.

The presentations set the stage for intra and inter work package sessions during which project members reviewed presented ideas, applications, and technical systems. Furthermore, activities for the upcoming deliverables and milestones were defined, and tasks between work packages were coordinated.

During this first All Hands Meeting various important decisions were taken and the consortium is looking forward to another great meeting!
