Paleonet: Megafauna: Learning from the past to build a sustainable future. Symposium on May 3, 2017

[Matt Davis]

Dear colleagues,
Professor Jens-Christian Svenning of Aarhus University and the MegaPast2Future project invite you to an engaging one day symposium: "Megafauna: Learning from the past to build a sustainable future” on May 3, 2017 in Aarhus, Denmark. This symposium will feature researchers from around the world investigating a range of megafauna topics from paleontology to ecosystem theory and modern conservation.

Aarhus is ranked a top travel destination by Lonely Planet, The Guardian, and The New York Times, and is an especially exciting place to visit this spring as it is now Europe's Official Capital of Culture. The symposium will take place in the striking Moesgaard Museum (http://www.moesgaardmuseum.dk/en/), which among other fascinating artifacts, features aurochs, amazing Bronze Age weapons, and the world’s best preserved bog mummy.

Spaces are limited! Reserve your ticket here: https://auws.au.dk/forms/frm1Arrangement.aspx?value=636246643690126265&id=32367 Price of 340 DKK covers museum admission and lunch.
