Bert M. Balk (Biography, Keynote Paper)
The post-conference Young Researchers' workshop on July 2, 2005 is a good opportunity to present papers in progress. It is open to researchers that are either PhD students or recent PhD’s having their degree for at most 3 years. The Young Researcers' Workshop is organized and financed jointly with EWG EPA. Papers presented at the workshop are submitted in well before and two discussants (one senior and one juinor) are assigned to each paper to make the most out of the “Young Researchers” workshop. The scientific committee, keynote speakers and local organising committee are committed to participate and provide extensive comments.
