The ALFAwetlands Consortium Meeting (CM) took place from June 26 to 28 in Tartu, Estonia — widely regarded as the intellectual capital of the country and located near one of Europe’s largest bogs. The meeting was hosted at the modern Oecologicum building of the University of Tartu’s Institute of Ecology and Earth Sciences and organized by the University of Tartu, the project’s local partner.
The CM focused on reviewing the progress of ALFAwetlands implementation, sharing current research findings, and planning next steps. The program included technical sessions on Living Labs and preparations for the final conference, along with meetings of the Advisory Board and General Assembly.
A key highlight was an open session on the newly released European Wetland Map — a powerful geospatial tool supporting wetland restoration across Europe.
Coinciding with the meeting, participants had the opportunity to engage in the follow-up INTECOL Wetlands Conference, also held in Tartu. |
