Each year the partners of the RECOMB consortium come together to discuss the progress made during the past year. This year’s meeting was initially scheduled to take place in Leiden, the Netherlands in April 2020 but was postponed to November and moved online due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The meeting successfully brought together 55 participants, representing most of the partners, to discuss the progress made by the different working groups. Despite some delays due to the pandemic, many partners had made important progress for the project.
