| Results and Impact | Organized by Sharon Zytynska. 25 people (6 from UK, 6 from Salamanca IRNASA Spain and 12 from EEZ Granada, Spain) attended a research symposium and skills exchange workshop. Ended with a list of potential topics for skills exchanges between researchers (technicians, PhDs, postdocs) from UK to Spain and Spain to UK, which will be funded by the project. |
