Outreach & Impact

The BETR programme promote and support scientific outreach activities. We hope not only to bring the research findings from the projects involved in BETR, but the filed of palaeoenvironment research to more and more general public, especially the next generations. Below are some examples of what the involved researchers have done in recent years.
