In this talk\, I will present an overview of how de ep\, wide-field surveys of nearby groups of galaxies allow us to character ize the past and ongoing accretion processes shaping the halos of Milky Wa y-mass galaxies. This field is set to experience significant advancements with the current and future generations of state-of-the-art telescopes (JW ST\, Roman\, TMT\, VRO).\n\nhttps://iaus379.aip.de/event/20/contributions/ 291/ LOCATION:Haus H\, Telegrafenberg URL:https://iaus379.aip.de/event/20/contributions/291/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
