Thursday 29 August 2019 from 17:00 to 18:30
Lumen building, garden terrace and rooms 1&2
This is your chance to meet some of the #WSC2019 experts and ask them all the questions you can think of! What were the big moments that changed their career? What brought them to specialize in the use of soil functions for policy support, digital soil mapping or innovative methods for investigating microbial soil processes? What do they consider the current research challenges in their field?
To spark the conversation, each expert brought an object that linked to their area of expertise. Participants decided who took the nicest, most surprising and most interesting object. Meanwhile, we provided free drinks, snacks and live music by the Festa Chordis ensemble in an informal setting.
