Welcome to the Bolin Days 2017!
Welcome to the 2017 Bolin Days! In addition to sessions hosted by each of our eight research areas, we welcome you to special sessions held by our new External Science Advisory Group members and with a focus on collaboration with the Human Science Academic Area. There will be a poster competition for PhD students, and you will have the opportunity of meeting with our database team as well as learning more about our mentoring scheme. Finally, welcome to our annual dinner followed by a ceilidh dance with live music.
