If you are a crystallography enthusiast or an earthworm nerd – we need to come together and learn from each other. Alongside advice from analytical experts, this workshop is meant to offer an interdisciplinary forum for soil scientists to exchange methodological challenges in their research. Particularly early-career researchers are highly welcome to join! Participants are invited to present their work in poster form.
