ALT Thanks to Evelyn Vollmeister for this image showing the Madland research community – group of researchers photographed outside with a backdrop of green grass, gentle hills and dark green trees under blue sky. This is a collaboration which benefits from a range of expertise from different universities and research centres. Led by Göttingen University for this next stage of the project, shown here at their annual meet-up in the Black Forest in Germany.
