MicroClock Retreat 2025
The first MicroClock Retreat was held in Munich from November 16–19, 2025, bringing together researchers from LMU Munich, Leiden University, and the John Innes Centre for four days of focused scientific exchange and strategic coordination. Hosted at LMU, the program comprised management-led project overviews, trainee research presentations across all thematic areas of the consortium, collaborative chronobiology data analysis sessions, and structured discussions on publications, data-sharing strategies, and future collaborative initiatives. Dedicated planning sessions defined priorities for 2026 and further strengthened integration across institutions and career stages. The retreat represented an important milestone in consolidating the scientific direction and interdisciplinary cohesion of the MicroClock ERC Synergy Grant.
