Last week the virtual meeting Limnology 2020 took place, which harbored both the XX Congress of the Iberian Association of Limnology and the III Ibero-American Congress of Limnology. Despite the current pandemic situation, the event had 283 participants and a total of 241 scientific communications, of which 147 were talks and 94 posters. During the meeting, several prizes were awarded (including one granted by SIBECOL) to the best scientific communications. Congratulations to all the awardees!
