+## Agenda
+
+1. Updates
+2. Gliders
+3. Gamification
+4. AOB
+
+## Team composition
+
+<!-- TODO: add photos? -->
+
+- New team members:
+    - Jamie (Postdoc)
+    - Gonçalo (Research Officer)
+
+
+## VirtualShip Classroom in new courses {.smaller}
+
+**At UU...**
+
+- In total 4 courses at UU (8 cycles), with implementation in each to continue in 2026/2027.
+- Implementation has been extended to two new courses:
+    - Ocean of the Future [**BSc**; Geosciences]
+    - Sustainable Water Resources Management [MSc; Geosciences]
+        - 4 hour 'masterclass'
+

+
+## VirtualShip Classroom in new courses {.smaller}
+
+**Beyond UU... !**
+
+- €100k NKO funding to implement the VirtualShip Classroom at four new universities in the Netherlands:
+    - TU Delft
+    - University of Amsterdam
+    - Wageningen University and Research
+    - University of Groningen
+
+- Mixture of BSc and MSc courses, ranging from ecology to physics.
+- Implementation to start in 2026/2027, for two academic years.
+- A transition from us actively supporting the implementation at each university to a more hands-off approach.

+
+## Updates to the software {.smaller}
+
+The software has updated over the last year... often in line with evolving user needs and feedback from students.

+
+## VR / 360° videos
+
+- 2024/2025: shorter videos, ship tours, scientist interviews and one instrument-focused video (ADCP).
+- **2025/2026**: 4 new longer videos (more instruments, day-at-sea videos) from DUST expedition that Emma and Gonçalo participated in.
+    - Newer videos after Gonçalo had 7 months more training in editing skills.
+- New bespoke video player application designed with the AV team at UU.
+    - Focusing on ability to deploy videos to students asynchronously.

+
+## Other updates
+
+- We have partnered with the National Marine Facilities (NMF) to join their 'roadshow' (focused around new AWvB ship) and promote VirtualShip to new users.
+- VU Amsterdam, TU Delft, Radboud University, University of Groningen and UU.
+
+## What's next?
+
+- Implementation at new universities as part of NKO scale-up project.
+- Continued development of the software, VR and teaching material.
+- Continued evaluation of resources and implementations.
+- ... which leads us to the next agenda items!
+
+## Discussion point: Gliders
+
+_How to integrate and work with gliders in the VirtualShip Classroom?_
+
+## Discussion point: Gamification
+
+_How can/should we incorporate gamification into the VirtualShip Classroom?_
+
+_How does it relate to authenticity?_
