The Geological and Mining Institute of Spain (IGME) hosted in Segovia the 3rd annual meeting of the STARS4Water project to discuss the progress of the project activities and plan for the next year. The project team also visited the Duero River basin in Spain (the location Canal de Castilla), which is one of the seven European river basins hubs acting as a living lab for co-design of tool development and innovation with stakeholders in the STARS4Water project. The Duero Basin Authority, one of the key stakeholders of the Duero basin community, guided the project partners through the basin Control Center and discussed on their decision-making Aid System. The team also visited an artificial groundwater recharge site.
During our annual meeting we also organized a specific session for the STARS4Water Young Professionals Network, pitching their ongoing research:

- Application of Machine Learning for Daily Estimation of Snow Water Equivalent in the Drammen River Basin, by Leandro Avila (FZJ)
- Assessment of Model Generalization in a Cross-Basin Transfer Learning Process, by Sami Miaari (FZJ)
- Evaluating Water Resources in the Seine River Basin and the Impacts of Future Risks on the Management of the Upstream Water Reservoirs, by Julie Collignan (INRAE)
- The Development of Machine Learning Methodologies Applied to Groundwater in the Duero Basin, by Manuel Rodrigues (UCM)
