SERMON - End-of-Programme Seminar

The SERMON research programme has focussed on developing and applying statistical methods, adapted to data from environmental monitoring data, for ecological research studies. The programme was funded by the Swedish Research Council for a period of four years, formally ending in 2018. The studies have been carried out in close collaboration with the Swedish National Forest Inventory and the National Inventory of Landscapes in Sweden.

We now invite you to an end-of-programme seminar to present and discuss results, on March 12, 9:30 -12:00 (or any part of the seminar you would like to attend) in Viken.
