Throughout June and July the HAT MEPP group held a series of virtual meetings with collaborators, stakeholders and partners to re-align the group’s project goals with the HAT communities current priorities. The meetings, which were conducted in both French and English, proved to be a great success with many lively and informative discussions and contributions being made throughout each of the sessions. The meeting, which provided HAT MEPP’s collaborators with the opportunity to influence the direction of the modelling work, will ensure that their future research addresses the HAT community’s most pressing questions.
