IAL-IPA PalaeOpen workshop
As part of the IAL-IPA symposium held in Aix-les-Bains (France), a 1-day workshop was held at the Université Savoie Mont Blanc, in Le Bourget-du-Lac. The workshop brought together ca 30 attendees as well as 4 instructors, and participants included both people who had attended previous PalaeOpen activities such as the Chironomid & Diatom workshop in N Macedonia or the Open Science Meeting in the Czech Republic, as well as people completely new to the COST Action. Some people travelled from countries such as Mexico, the US or China, meaning the reach of this workshop extended beyond the typical COST countries.
