2nd Mediterranean meet up
This year the devoted and strongly motivated Aix-Marseille team organized the second Mediterranean meet up in Marseille on the 9th and 10th of August. This second edition was a great opportunity to meet more teams and countries each other and to share about our projects. It was a meetup including poster presentations, to which we invited teams from all the Mediterranean countries. It gave us all an opportunity to make a rehearsal presenting before the Giant Jamboree. This year, 7 teams from Spain and France participated in the meetup: UPF_CRG_Barcelona, Madrid-OLM, Grenoble, Bordeaux, Pasteur_Paris, Paris_Bettencourt, and Montpellier. More info

Mexico!
A first contact with the Mexican team, Tecnológico de Monterrey, was over Skype. They were interested in water pollution, a critical environmental problem affecting all sorts of different ecosystems and many communities close to natural and polluted water sources. They asked us to help by providing them with water samples from different environments in France so they can analyze them with several techniques in order to make an overview of water pollution for their project.
