BONUS ANNUAL CONFERENCE 2010
19-21 January 2010Reval Hotel Lietuva, Vilnius, Lithuania
Scientists of the BONUS+ projects gathered for BONUS Annual Conference 2010 to discuss the results of the first year of projects' implementation. Thematic sessions included:
- Theme 1: Building the knowledge-based governance and management
of the Baltic Sea
- Theme 2: Understanding processes
and assessing the status of the Baltic Sea
- Theme 3: A system of catchment – coast – sea continuum
- Theme 4: Assessing future development of the Baltic Sea and uncertainties of projections
Help us make these conferences better by giving us feedback!
