LPRC at #vEGU21 – overview

La Palma Research Centre took part at this year’s EGU General Assembly, an online event, where it presented six projects where it is involved in.

For this year, EGU2021 worked differently: presenters had the chance to briefly present their research/project in 2 minutes. After this, presenters were divided between breakout rooms where discussion with the session’s participants could take place. Find our views and more information on each of our presentation below:

ENGIE (Session EOS5.1 – Promoting and supporting equality, diversity and inclusion in the geosciences)
