Team MARGIN Gathered in Vienna 26./27. March 2025

e

The Margin team convened in Vienna on the 26th and 27th March for a meeting hosted by GeoSphere Austria, a partner in the Margin project. Over the two-day event, all project partners came together to assess progress, address challenges, and strategize for the next steps.

A key highlight of the meeting was a mini-lecture by Prof. Dr. Christian Griebler, who showed the technique of ‘fishing’ water samples from a small well at the GeoSphere Austria to observe the microbiological ecosystem of the sampled groundwater.

Furthermore, during the World Café session, we engaged in an in-depth discussion of our case studies in four cities: Munich, Linz, Ljubljana, and Milan. This session provided valuable insights into each city’s varying approaches in fostering collaboration between universities and municipalities, particularly in sustainable groundwater management and climate change mitigation. We look forward to observing the progress of the second phase of our project!
