ECER 2024 was a highlight for NW18 this year with some excellent sessions taking place during the conference. Whilst the number of submissions was lower than we had hoped - and we were affected by quite a few late withdrawals - sessions were well attended with some excellent discussions. Indeed, those sessions where there were only two (rather than three) papers benefited from having more time for discussions which was fruitful for all in attendance.
Our Network Meeting was also productive and lots of important decisions were made during this including around requesting to change the name of NW18, developing a Special Call for ECER 2025, submitting an application for a Network Development Project, and nominating a new honorary member.
