Virtual Marketplace
We are continuing the tradition from EBSN annual conferences of providing a space i.e. marketplace for sharing information and networking. This year the marketplace is hosted in an allocated section in the conference padlet. The Virtual Marketplace is dedicated to promoting interaction, networking, and sharing additional resources beyond those presented at the workshop talks.
Conference Declaration
The Conference Declaration is an important element of all EBSN conferences. You can find the first draft of the declaration in the conference padlet. Add you comments in the dedicated padlet post below and be part of the co-creation of the 2021 Conference Declaration!

The EBSN Secretariat’s former initiative in supporting project generation among network members continues this year too. The Member Organisations’ diverse background represent a significant potential for partnership-building. The Secretariat wishes to further promote cooperation among EBSN Members and beyond.
