INSTITUTE | UPDATE

Update | February 2023

Welcome to our second Institute Update 2023! The last weeks were intense with the kick-off meetings of our two new European research projects UP2030 and DUST, but also with our different activities in Technical Assistance and Capacity-Building: the Institute is preparing activities in China and Middle East, to be announced very soon. Another nice achievement is the elaboration of our Knowledge library, which is open to all reviewed contributions.
