The ASIAQ project is now ended
Thank you all who have participated in ASIAQ! It has been a challenging time with the pandemic and not being able to meet with you in person, as originally planned. However, we are very happy that we have gotten to know you all, and hope that our paths will cross in the future as well!

April 2021 ASIAQ5 cancelled
Due to the pandemic, the fifth and final ASIAQ workshop was planned to be conducted as an online meeting in April 2021. However, the workshop had to be cancelled due to multiple reasons. We ask all ASIAQ participants to send your reflections and experiences of the ASIAQ project to Annika Granebeck, annika.granebeck@su.se. Your valuable input will be complied and publish here on the ASIAQ webpage.
It has been a challenging time with the pandemic and not being able to meet with you in person, as originally planned. However, we are very happy that we have gotten to know you all, and hope that our paths will cross in the future as well!
January 2021 Tarfala course cancelled
Today we decided that under the circumstances we are all still experiencing with the pandemic, the only feasible option concerning the planned ASIAQ course at Tarfala Research station in April 2021 is to cancel it.
The course was announced for early 2020, then postponed to fall 2020, and then to spring 2021. However, it is not realistic to conduct the course on site this spring. We have discussed the possibility of offering a digital course as replacement, but decided against this since we cannot offer the content we would like without the field component.
We have therefore decided to cancel the course without replacement, and trust you understand.
Stay healthy and safe!
