eLTER science conference
23 June @ 8h00 – 27 June @ 17h00
From 23rd to 27th of June in Tampere, Finland, over 300 participants will meet to exchange knowledge, tools, and ideas under the motto: “Toward a whole-system approach to ecosystem science”. The event is planned as a unique science conference addressing holistic ecosystem science, which is fundamentally motivating development of the eLTER Research Infrastructure. Registration is open until 25 April!
Twenty-five prominent keynotes, widely acknowledged for their expertise in developing whole-system approaches, will speak at the conference. Scientific sessions will range from ‘Unraveling the mysterious role of groundwater in ecosystem dynamics’ to ‘Ecosystem restoration’, and from ‘Novel technologies in environmental monitoring’ to ‘Integrated observations in the atmosphere-biosphere continuum’. Policy-relevant topics include e.g. ‘Carbon farming’ and ‘Studying the sustainability of globally embedded socio-ecological systems’.
In addition, interactive workshops on data, arts and science, and co-design of services for the eLTER RI will be organised by conference participants. Workshops are open for all registered participants.
