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!
