As part of the International Conference on Ecological Science SystemLink PhD students were organising a workshop on the topic “Transfer of anthropogenic STRESS from aquatic to terrestrial ecosystems – PERSPECTIVES FROM YOUNG RESEARCHERS”
In the course of the fusion of the TU Kaiserslautern and the University of Landau, young scientists from the University of Koblenz-Landau, Landau Campus, were allowed to participate in the symposium for the first time. Although the young scientists from the Landau Campus were outnumbered by the young researchers from Kaiserslautern, they were able to bring home two of the highly coveted prizes for scientific posters. Sara Kolbenschlag won the 1st prize and Nina Röder the 3rd prize. We congratulate them on their success!
