Conferences/ Workshops

The consortium members will attend European and International conferences and workshops during years 2,3 and 4 of the project (in months 28, 30, 36, 40, 42, 44, 48) in order to disseminate the project work and findings. Major targeted conferences include the American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting, the European Geosciences Union General Assembly, the Goldschmidt Conference, the NetSci flagship conference for Complex Networks, and the Sedgwick Club Conference. The results obtained in QUEST will be communicated via direct interactive discussions, training sessions and presentations. Additionally, we will present our findings in discussion groups and seminars, such as the Quaternary Discussion Group at Cambridge; funds are available at Cambridge to invite external guest speakers for such occasions. Visitors to the PIK Institute will discuss their strategies and analyses at the informal COmplex Network Informal Meetings (CONIM) and in the Paleoclimate Seminar in Mainz. These European activities will be complemented by seminars in New Zealand such as the Quaternary Techniques MSc Course, the Quaternary Techniques short course in Wellington, and the School of Science Seminar Series at Waikato, where technical staff, researchers, PhD and undergraduate students, as well as visitors will have the opportunity to gain insights into our techniques and main findings.
