Netherlands Centre for Coastal Research
The NCK Days of 2017 have been a great succes!
We would like to give our thanks and compliments to Wageningen Marine Research for the very smooth organization. Also many thanks to all contributors for putting in the effort to share their work in presentations and posters.
If you have missed a presentation, did not see all posters, or simply would want to re-read the info: you can now download the book of abstracts on the 'past events' page. On this page, you can also get an overall impression of the NCK Days, with a link to all the photos that were made during the NCK Days.
We look forward to seeing you at the next NCK event!
On Thursday January 26, 2017 there will be a joint meeting of the five NWO-BwN projects: EMERGO, BE SAFE, Smart Ecosystems, CoCoChannel and Rebuilding barrier islands.
Knowledge gain within these projects is not only important from a scientific point of view, but also forms the foundation for policy and future delta and river developments. The aim of this day is to inform each other and strengthen the interaction with our consortium partners, especially the NGO’s.
What to expect:
- An introduction/update of the five projects
- Interactive poster session
- Networking possibility
Please go to our events page to find more information on the programme and the venue. You can register for this day by following this link.
