ELN Conference, Winterthur

Home  | Events | Meetings | ELN Conference, Winterthur
From 7 to 9 February 2018, the ELN Conference provided all working groups the chance to present their outputs and completed works in the last three years within the COST-Action as well as to plan the final year of the Action by discussing the relationships with partners and stakeholders and preparing for the 2018 Literacy Summit. As the first Literacy Summit in November 2018 approached, it was necessary to accommodate for this large and groundbreaking summit, plan the tasks for the last year of the Action as well as strengthen the relationships with ELN partners and stakeholders.
