SENSE / EPCEM Symposium on 10 October 2008
The SENSE PhD Symposium took place on Friday 10 October 2008 in WICC Wageningen and is organized in excellent cooperation with former EPCEM students: Sunny Morrison, Marloes Bakker and Stelios Grafakos.
They have taken the initiative for a wonderful combined meeting, not only for sharing a number of fond education memories but also for looking ahead at emerging issues in the environmental sciences. It is very appropriate that this meeting was co-organized with the SENSE Research School, which is the researchers network for over 350 PhD students in the environmental sciences.
