Following the successful initial Doctoral Colloquium at the first MAESTRI Conference, a second edition was held online on the 17th of October 2025, continuing this series within our doctoral training programme. This session focused on reporting the current progress of each doctoral candidate (DC) and exploring ad hoc opportunities for collaboration. The discussions were based on the posters presented by the DCs during the MAESTRI Annual Conference in Ljubljana, with six DCs showcasing their work. There was a lively and productive discussion, guided by three senior researchers (Prof. M. Chamonine, Prof. D. Lisjak, Prof. P. Manoonpong) from different fields of expertise for feedback and review. All participants were highly satisfied with this meeting and are looking forward to its continuation.
