Purpose of the Field Station

The field station will be used to accommodate organizations and individuals whilst visiting the project location. For the general public it will be used for communication about the project and the environment, nature, history and cultural heritage. It will be opened at indicated times, when seasons and ecological circumstances allow it, and actively promoted during communication activities. Scholars will be informed as part of the curricula or Winter School inscription procedure.
