Dead Wood Course 2019 has finished in the Voronezhsky State Nature Biosphere Reserve on 28 June 2019, bringing together 12 teachers and 24 students from Russia, Norway, Finland, Lithuania, Latvia, Switzerland, and the US. Most of the presentations are available online as PDFs.

I am happy and impressed by the good spirit and the hard work by everyone involved. I am very grateful for the trust and support from the project partners and the organisations joining forces to make such a course a reality: the University Museum of Bergen, the Lomonosov Moscow State University, the Norwegian University of Life Sciences, the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research, the University of Oslo, the Voronezhsky State Nature Biosphere Reserve, and the Research School in Biosystematics – ForBio, the University of Helsinki, and to our funder – the Norwegian Agency for International Cooperation and Quality Enhancement in Higher Education (Diku).
