Young scientists pitch their topics!

As part of our Scientific Seminar day in Prague on 18 September, young scientists had the opportunity to present their work on a topic related to the seminar theme of 'Forests under pressure: addressing disruptions, boosting resilience, and guiding policy'. 

After participating in training sessions, each young scientist gave a pitch talk in front of the audience in the auditorium. This was followed up by a poster session and networking opportunities. 

Congratulations to the following, who bravely took on the challenge of distilling their work into understandable, 1 minute talks!
