The first in-person meeting of the CURIOSOIL Project took place in Aveiro, Portugal, in February 2024. The project partners gathered to set the stage for the project's ambitious journey in the coming four years. The University of Aveiro, coordinating project organisation, hosted the meeting in the Fábrica Centro Ciência Viva. The project, co-funded by the European Union within the framework of Mission Soil, aims to revolutionise soil education and address the need for a deeper understanding of soil dynamics amid increasing human pressures.
