SinoTropia Workshop

Little over a year has passed and it is time to take status of our work and adress how to best proceed in order to reach our project goals.

The point of this workshop is manyfold. We wish to use the occasion to present the project for our stakeholders and dissiminate our findings and ambitions. We also need to report to each other what we have achived and what data we are still missing so that we can assess our status and identify what we need to focus on in the continuing.
