AGRO Researcher Days 2021
Work on planning AGRO Researcher Days 2021 is ongoing. The days are planed for 3-4 November 2021 in Kolding.
Attendance is compulsory for all researchers, and this time it applies to both young and old. However, dispensation can be granted in case of urgent tasks.
All scientific personel is invited, and the programme is a combination of the previous senior VIP meeting and Grand Meeting for the PhD students. Also postdocs and AC-TAP is attending.
“I see it as crucial for the department's development that all researchers meet across the department. This applies both across sites and sections, but also across age groups. It is important that we increase knowledge of each other. It definitely leads to both better research and greater job satisfaction, ”says Jørgen E. Olesen
