Another fantastic retreat to bring together everyone from the EcoGenetics centre in the wonderful settings of Sandbjerg Manor. A week full of interesting talks, workshops and "hands-on" group work in our core groups as well of social activity that brought us all closer together. We already look forward to next year's retreat.
Tove H Jørgensen and Trine Bilde from the Ecogenetic Centre (Biology, Aarhus University) presented the importance of genetic diversity in conservation of insect populations on Learn scenen at Naturmødet (May 2023).
A fantastic workshop where we could catch up on progress in all the core groups from Denmark, Scotland and Finland as well as set the stage for the future development of our project.
We had very intense days with a comprehensive scientific program during the day as well as many fun team building activities to keep us busy in the evenings.
We also used the occasion of this workshop to invite representatives of SustainScapes (Center for Sustainable Landscapes under Global Change) and brainstorm on possible synergies between us.
We had our first EcoGeneticsworkshop at Mols Laboratoriet in October 2021
In this workshop, it was great post-corona lockdowns to sit physically together and have some very intense days of project planning, brainstorming and networking. We had the opportunity to update each other on the state of the art for ongoing projects, as well as define and develop directions and working groups for the future development of different projects in the centre. It was the first time we all met in person and it was very productive and inspirational for everyone. An added value was to be in the beautiful setting of Mols bjerge, which we had the chance to explore a bit as well.
