Hello,
Many thanks to everyone for joining the 2nd YDYS Collaborators Virtual Meeting, especially those dialling-in in the middle of the night! For reference, and for those who were unable to join, the video of the meeting can be seen here: https://vimeo.com/503141644/342e26ea70
The action points all have to do with setting up meetings to progress collaborations, these are outlined below. I have cc-ed in Angela from our team, who can assist with organising these. Angela, can you kindly set up Doodle Polls for the following (I’ve included email addresses and approximate locations to take into account timezones):

Of course, everyone is welcome to send emails to the group address (ydys(a)wgc.org.uk<mailto:ydys@wgc.org.uk>) in order to reach the entire group.
The 3rd YDYS Collaborators Meeting, which will be in a few months time, will focus on analysis and how to ‘defend our groupings of countries together’, i.e. if we group together Southern Europe versus Northern Europe, what the rationalisation is for this (thank you, Claudia, for raising this question in today’s meeting)
Warm regards,
Lauren Robarts
