The Computational Landscape Ecology group just came back from a 3-day long group retreat in the beautiful Spree Forest (Spreewald). Spending some time together in a different environment was important to get to know each other better both at the personal and professional level, reflect on the group’s advancements so far and set the priorities for the coming months. Between working sessions, we also found the time to explore the surroundings with some hikes and a canoe trip. We are already looking forward to our next retreat!
