CAREX Technology and Infrastructures Workshop

Presentations and Documents

The CAREX workshop Priorities for environment-specific technological developments and infrastructures (programme) was held in Sant Feliu de Guixols on December 2-5, 2008. This interdisciplinary workshop was attended by 48 European and international experts.

13 oral presentations were given during the workshop and 13 posters were displayed. Presentations can be downloaded from the table below.

The workshop was strucured around two sets of working groups, the first one being focussed on different environments, the second on transversal issues. Reports from these working groups can be downloaded from this page.

A strategic report gathering the recommenations expressed during the meeting as well as proceedings will be published in June 2009.
