The MACH project celebrated the end of its third year with an in-person meeting in Camden, NJ. The MACH team is spread across thirteen institutions, primarily operating in a remote workspace. While working remotely has many advantages for this team, providing opportunities to gather in person helps researchers form bonds and transform theory into practice.
This year’s annual meeting was open to the MACH research team and stakeholders, including our Community Partners, Collaborative Stakeholder Advisory Panel, and Government Advisory Committee. Stakeholders had the opportunity to connect with researchers and learn more about the many ongoing MACH-led projects. A review panel from the National Science Foundation also participated in the 2024 MACH Annual Meeting. Overall, the meeting was a successful catalyst for transformative discussions about the future of the project.
A recording of the hybrid portion of the meeting, featuring talks by MACH leadership, a round of lightning talks from students and postdocs, a preview of upcoming MACH feature films, and a panel discussion of MACH leadership is available here.
