On the 27-28th of May, the 1st SPP2419 HyCAM Doctoral Workshop was hosted in Darmstadt at the Additive Manufacturing Center. The main goals of this event were:

• Foster the mutual transfer of knowledge, networking, and cooperation among the young researchers within the HyCAM Priority Program.
• Strengthen the methodological competence of the participants beyond their own immediate subject areas, hence enhancing the effectiveness of collaboration
• Provide interdisciplinary tutorials aimed at enhancing soft skills

The workshop featured two days of insightful presentations, engaging discussions, and remarkable networking and cooperation among the young researchers within the HyCAM Priority Program. A huge thank you to the organizers, all the attendees, international guest speaker, M.Sc. Enrico Cresci, and everyone who contributed to making this workshop a success.
