BEES Christmas Market

The 6th BEES Xmas Market takes place on Friday 20th December, in the inside garden of the main hall of the Herman Teirlynck building, Tour & Taxis, Brussels. As usual, a mix of short presentations, optional interactive workshops and -mainly- space and time to network across disciplines, research-practice and regional/administrative boundaries, will be provided. LifeWatch VLIZ will be present with a booth about "artificial intelligence used for plankton research". And the LifeWatch Wallonia-Brussels team will have a booth about their ecotopes database. See you there!
