From 28 August to 4 September 2026, our colleagues Fernando Chaguaceda and Irma Carvalho e Silva attended the GLEON (Global Lake Ecological Observatory Network) All Hands Meeting 2026, held in Girona, Spain, at Lake Banyoles, where they presented a poster, enjoyed fruitful discussions at the different working groups and enlarged the project’s network.

The Global Lake Ecological Observatory Network conducts international team science to advance our understanding of lakes and their benefits in a changing environment.
