What would happen if all research was kept in a drawer? Sharing scientific knowledge and knowing what is being done around the world is the impetus that pushes us to ask new questions and open up new lines of research.
At CREAF we are committed to collaborative science with the scientific community. And that is why our research staff swaps the laboratory for a 'microphone' at the various conferences and workshops that take place throughout the year.
An example is the General Assembly of the EGU , the European Geosciences Union, which brings together scientists from all over the world in a meeting that encompasses very broad and diverse topics, from climate science, ecology and geosciences, to the study of space and planets. The last congress, which was held in Vienna between 3 and 8 May, brought together many of the CREAF scientific community who were able to present their research through presentations, posters or seminars. Below is a summary:
