GeoPLASMA-CE FINAL EEAB MEETING AND THE FINAL CONFERENCE IN FREIBERG
20. - 22. 5. 2019
GeoPLASMA-CE project consortium invited external expert advisory board members (EEAB) for the final meeting on May 20, 2019 to get their final feedback on project outputs achieved so far and recommendations for the remaining outputs to be achieved until the end of September 2019. We have discussed with them about supportive measures for long-term utilization and transferability of the results to other regions, how should we ensure even greater project impact and about the follow-up projects as well. After the intensive discussion we made a tour into Reiche Zeche (old silver mine).
