End of January APECS NL, we, the board members, gathered at NWO tall building (The Dutch Research Council) in Utrecht. We met up with NWO NPP (Nederlands Polair Programma or Dutch Polar Programme), being represented by Dr. Daan Blok and Drs. Renno Hokwerda. During the live meeting, which we were very excited about, we covered several important topics.We presented our 2023 report and discussed matters related to the plans for the 2024 and further ahead. These were our connection with the APECS International, reaching existing and potential new members, national and international collaborations, budget planning, and plans for the next term.

We want to extend our thanks to the NPP for a great welcome, constructive feedback and all their support in the present and future.
