Workshops/Studies and Conferences
QUASIMEME organises Workshops and Conferences to support participating laboratories. The Workshops provide an opportunity to focus on specific problems both in the laboratory and in the field and, with the aid of expert assistance, provide working solutions. The QUASIMEME Conferences provide a fora for the interchange of information and experience amongst marine scientists and to extend the QUASIMEME network.
The Workshops/Studies and Conferences are open to anyone with an interest in promoting the Quality of Measurement in the Marine and Estuarine Environment.
