A helpful aspect for us were sessions and short courses offered by early career scientists (ECS), giving advices for networking, outreach activities and future career planning. Especially appealing were also sessions and courses on gender equality and diversity as well as policy in science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We did not only use the conference to consume science, but also to present our own research and start discussions with a broad international audience. Some of our talks were part of an Arctic session that were hosted by ArcTrain PIs and spontaneously also by one of the PhD students who helped on-site. A big challenge was the format of the talks: everybody only got 6 minutes to present their research (including discussions!). Despite the short and unusual format, it was great experience and good practice to present a concise version of the own research and talk in front of a big (on-site and virtual) audience. A great benefit for on-site participants was the possibility of networking with international scientists during the sessions, but also when queuing for coffee during the breaks and in informal meetings in the evenings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/arctrain.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_20220526_170021_974.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"937\" height=\"702\" src=\"https:\/\/arctrain.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_20220526_170021_974.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"3299\" data-link=\"https:\/\/arctrain.de\/?attachment_id=3299\" class=\"wp-image-3299\" srcset=\"https:\/\/arctrain.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_20220526_170021_974.jpg 937w, https:\/\/arctrain.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_20220526_170021_974-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/arctrain.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG_20220526_170021_974-768x575.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 937px) 100vw, 937px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/arctrain.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG-20220527-WA0019-1024x768.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/arctrain.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG-20220527-WA0019-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"3301\" data-link=\"https:\/\/arctrain.de\/?attachment_id=3301\" class=\"wp-image-3301\" srcset=\"https:\/\/arctrain.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG-20220527-WA0019-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/arctrain.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG-20220527-WA0019-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/arctrain.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG-20220527-WA0019-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/arctrain.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG-20220527-WA0019-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/arctrain.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG-20220527-WA0019.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/arctrain.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG-20220527-WA0024-1-1024x768.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/arctrain.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG-20220527-WA0024-1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"3320\" data-link=\"https:\/\/arctrain.de\/?attachment_id=3320\" class=\"wp-image-3320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/arctrain.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG-20220527-WA0024-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/arctrain.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG-20220527-WA0024-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/arctrain.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG-20220527-WA0024-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/arctrain.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG-20220527-WA0024-1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/arctrain.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/IMG-20220527-WA0024-1.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/arctrain.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DefangPresentation.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/arctrain.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DefangPresentation-1024x768.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"3321\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/arctrain.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DefangPresentation.png\" data-link=\"https:\/\/arctrain.de\/?attachment_id=3321\" class=\"wp-image-3321\" srcset=\"https:\/\/arctrain.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DefangPresentation-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/arctrain.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DefangPresentation-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/arctrain.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DefangPresentation-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/arctrain.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DefangPresentation-1536x1152.png 1536w, https:\/\/arctrain.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/DefangPresentation-2048x1537.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Another advantage of being in Vienna was the chance to enjoy the area in the direct surroundings of the conference site including the river Donau. Also, when enabled by the conference agenda, exploring the city and trying some local food (like \u201cSachertorte\u201d, coffee and other unpronounceable offers) was a great option. A special moment was meeting for an ArcTrain dinner on Thursday evening, in which ArcTrainees of the first, second and third cohort came together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery
