LPRC at #vEGU21 – overview

/in /by

La Palma Research Centre took part at this year’s EGU General Assembly, an online event, where it presented six projects where it is involved in.

For this year, EGU2021 worked differently: presenters had the chance to briefly present their research/project in 2 minutes. After this, presenters were divided between breakout rooms where discussion with the session’s participants could take place. Find our views and more information on each of our presentation below:

ENGIE (Session EOS5.1 – Promoting and supporting equality, diversity and inclusion in the geosciences)

  • Abstract & Information
