From 29^th of January to 3^rd of February 2023 the European Winter Conference on Mass Spectrometry (EWCSP) took place in Ljubljana, Slovenia. The conference was organized by the National Institute of Chemistry Slovenia (KI); among the members of the organizing committee was also a member of the MURmap project, Dr. Martin Šala.

Almost the whole department of general and analytical chemistry at Montanuniversität Leoben was present, so also Ulrike to present a poster (see picture). Content was the aim of the project, sampling procedure, methodology and first results of the campaigns in spring (May 2022) and summer (August 2022) as well as a first interpretation of the results. Barbara also attended the conference and together with Ulrike they discussed a lot with participants, visited talks and explored a wide range of topics, which are potentially applicable for the MURmap.

It was a great experience to exchange experiences and ideas, to get input from so many interested people, including renowned scientists and to see how huge the response on our project is.
