Startup workshop

April 8th - 9th 2014 the national and international collaborators, some of the co-PIs of PolliClim plus a few invited guests gathered at CEES to hold a start up workshop. The goal was to discuss relevant topics such as study design, sampling protocols, statistical analyses, publication policies and organisational and financial status at the collaborating institutions.

Start-up Workshop PolliClim

Location: CEES, room 3315 in Kristine Bonnevie’s building at Blindern campus.

Welcome to the Start-up workshop for the project “Pollination; an ecosystem service affected by climate change” (PolliClim – NFR 230279/E50). This event has three goals, namely that we 1) define a common sampling protocol tailored to our study design and data analyses, 2) agree upon a fruitful project structure and decide how we will cooperate to fulfil our scientific goals, and 3) get to know each other even better to facilitate collaboration within PolliClim and beyond. Welcome!
