The BRI was at the EuroMAB - the biannual conference of biosphere reserves from Europe and North America - in the Elbe River Landscape Biosphere Reserve. The meeting, held under the motto Climate for Change, fostered networking and learning. The BRI team co-organised two workshops: good practices to develop research strategies, and ethics, diversity and inclusion. Students from the master's programme BIOM supported the organisation and participated in the Youth Conference that preceded the main event.
