The area is well known for its many nature reserves and walking/cycling tracks.

Poster Session

All posters will be first presented during the relevant WP presentations with so-called elevator pitches. The elevator pitch is a short (30sek.- 2min.) summary talk presenting the main objectives and outcomes of the poster.
 
The posters are then set up in two separate poster sessions.
  • • Posters relevant to the WPs 2 and 4 will be set up for the session 1 on Wednesday 12 November 20:00-21:30.
  • • Posters relevant to the WPs 3, 5, 6, 7 and 8 will be set up for the session 2 on Thursday 13 November 18:30-20:00.
