From 1. to 3. March 2023, the second Annual Meeting took place at the ANU in Canberra. About six months after our last joint meeting we were welcomed at the ANU Campus and had the chance to assess the progress of the new facilities in their new Physics building.

During the meeting all doctoral candidates and Postdocs reported on their projects and recent research. Since a large fraction of the Meta-Active members were not able to travel to Australia, all sessions were held in a hybrid mode. The young researchers in Jena organized a local meet-up as well and joined the online presentations as a team.

Due to the time shift the hybrid part was stretched over two days. In the non-hybrid time, the PIs in Canberra met for strategic project discussions. In addition, the administrative team of Meta-Active had the chance to get to know each other and discuss the organizational details of current and future research visits. Beside the scientific exchange on campus the group enjoyed an excursion to the Tidbibbilla National Park where research discussions were followed by grazing kangaroos.

The talks and recordings of the Annual Meeting can be found on the Meta-Active Moodle platform.
