The DYSS was a success with 37 participants and 14 new members! In total 14 oral presentations and 15 posters, accompanied by flash presentations and lively discussion in interaction with the audience.
Mr. Jacques Kilelawho was awarded for the best oral presentation, entitled “Effect of organic amendment on the physicochemical characteristics of tailing and root development of tree species, fifteen years after planting”.
Ms. Andrea Cecere was awarded best poster presentation, entitled “Impacts of soil conductivity on plant transpiration regulation under drought”
Congratulations to both and to all other high quality presentations. A few more impressions of the day below and we hope to see many of you all next year!
Venue: Royal Academy, Hertogstraat 1, Brussels – The Rubens auditorium (Oral presentations) & The Atrium (Posters & coffee)
