Selected early-career researchers, coming from different EU and non-EU countries, gathered in Carlow, Ireland, to participate to the first AMIGA Summer School organised by Teagasc and Minerva Communication.
Speakers with different expertise led the school to give participants hints in the area of the environmental risk assessment (ERA) and discussed with them views, perspectives and experiences in a very interactive way. Participants were not only exposed to lectures and presentations but had the chance to visit field trials and really get into the research activities of the AMIGA project.
Divided into working groups to analyse specific case studies, the young group of participants were asked to give a presentation as result of their work at the end of the 5 days lectures and active exchange. Positive feedback has been expressed by the participants, who appreciated especially the breakout activities and the practical exercises.
