Here you will find upcoming events at the Earth and Life Institute.
The Institute regularly hosts seminars, thesis defenses, and conferences.
To see more, you can click on “All events” and explore the events for each month.
The Earth and Life Institute organises a recurring series of conferences entitled "ELI-Sustainability Talks", abbreviated as "ELI-T". These seminars, held throughout the year, are given by renowned professors and researchers in their fields from around the world and cover a variety of topics related to environmental, climate, and biodiversity issues. They are open to all members of the Institute as well as any researcher or person interested in the topic. It is also possible to follow the ELI-T online.
Modelling storm surges in the Scheldt-North Sea continuum under present and future climate conditions
18 Nov
Public Thesis Defense of Riana Randresihaja "Modelling storm surges in the Scheldt-North Sea continuum under present and future climate conditions" SummaryEstuaries are a key component of coastal systems, influencing hydrodynamics, ecosystem functioning and local socio-economic activities. At the interface between the Scheldt River and the North Sea, the Scheldt estuary forms

Towards characterizing and modelling the temporal variability of effective soil properties
03 Nov
Katharina Meurer (Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences) will give this seminar, organized by the ELI-E department. Abstract Extreme weather conditions, such as severe droughts, are expected to become more frequent in a future climate.

Improving nitrogen fertilization recommendations in temperate agricultural systems
30 Oct
Public Thesis Defense of Thibaut Cugnon "Improving nitrogen fertilization recommendations in temperate agricultural systems" Summary Nitrogen fertilization in temperate arable systems must reconcile two competing requirements: providing crops with enough N to express their yield potential, and avoiding the environmental losses caused by excess mineral N in the soil.
