Webinars in preparation for the 'Sharing Perspectives' Workshop
In preparation for the 'Sharing perspectives workshop', three webinars gave insights on management of plant, forest and animal genetic resources. The aim of the webinars was to bring all workshop participants to the same level of knowledge, engage in the topic and stimulate some questions to be addressed during the workshop. By organizing these presentations ahead, we were able to kick start our conversations in Finland.
The webinars were held with the following schedule:
