The interdisciplinary training school provides hands-on training in measuring and modelling on gaseous (NH3, GHG) and aerosol emissions from animal housing and manure management systems. It will be accompanied by an intercultural training giving insights into mechanisms and opportunities of intercultural communication and collaboration.

Common measurement methods, conventional and emerging data analysis approaches as well as emission flow modelling techniques will be presented and discussed by experienced scientists from European and international institutions.

INFOS for participants on travel etc. see here.
