The event featured five keynote speakers, eight invited speakers, 12 student presenters (PhD & MSc), and nine additional speakers, including professors and postdoctoral researchers, totaling 34 presentations. With over 80 registered participants, each NetCOLOR day saw an average of 50 attendees, making it a highly engaging and well-attended gathering.

Participant Feedback on the 3rd NetCOLOR Meeting

It was fantastic to hear about the diverse range of ocean color research happening across Canada and the exciting opportunities for collaboration!

The once-a-week format over the course of a month was truly great! It allowed for in-depth discussions and better engagement.

The variety of formats—talks, videos, quizzes—created a dynamic and interactive atmosphere that kept the energy high throughout the event!

If you missed this event, don't worry! We have made the videos and/or PDFs from the NetCOLOR days available for you to catch up on all the exciting presentations and discussions!
