Polar theme meeting
As previously mentioned (including at the recent annual meeting), the Bjerknes Centre is in the process of renewing its strategy. We will therefore have a new Polar meeting dedicated to discussing what we think the Bjerknes Centre should be doing over the next years and how we should achieve these objectives. As these discussions requires energy, we will also use this opportunity for a small pre-christmas lunch. So please confirm your attendance. When: Thursday 20 November at 12:00-14:00 Where: Copernicus lecture room (114; NERSC) Best, Marius
