Description
WHIRLS Kick-off Meeting
3rd to 5th June 2024
Dear WHIRLS community,
We are please to launch the EU ERC-Synergy Grant project WHIRLS with our Kick-off Meeting in Kiel. This will be the start for our joint interdisciplinary journey to explore the impacts of ocean fine-scale whirls on climate and ecosystems.
The kick-off meeting provides the platform to engage with the internal and external WHIRLS community to ensure fit-for-purpose interdisciplinary research resulting in mutual use and gain of expertise in ocean observing and ocean modelling.
It is particularly important to us to familiarize the early career scientists in WHIRLS with the interdisciplinary approach of the project at an early stage and to create ample synergies.
Registration will be open until 15 May, however, for planning we ask you to register as soon as possible. WHIRLS members (from the funded partners) are expected to participate in person. WHIRLS partners might participate in person (places are restricted) or online for the first 1.5 days.
The draft agenda is available below and will be constantly updated on this site if applicable.
Info about hotel booking is available below.
We are looking very much forward to welcoming you in Kiel.
With kind regards,
Arne Biastoch
