IBIS Joint Workshop with the Scottish Freshwater Group

24 October 2013 The Scottish Freshwater Group (SFG) provides a forum for members to exchange information across disciplines and to promote awareness of current issues and research related to the freshwater environment in Scotland. The SFG holds a one-day meeting twice yearly in April and October at the University of Stirling. These meetings usually consist of seven or eight talks and a lunchtime poster display. They attract participants from academic research institutes, industry, government and non-government agencies who share a professional interest in the freshwater environment. The meetings are also attended by undergraduate and postgraduate students. IBIS is joining with the SFG for this event. The 91st meeting of the SFG took place on Thursday 24th October 2013. This is a joint meeting between the SFG & the IBIS Project.
