---------------------------------------------------------------------
The annual NCK Conference will be held from Wednesday to Friday March 21-23, 2018 at Teylers Museum in Haarlem, the Netherlands. The 2018 NCK Days will be hosted by TNO - Geological Survey of the Netherlands as part of its 100-year mapping anniversary. The theme of the meeting is 'Geo-logic in coastal and shelf research: a matter of multi-disciplinarity'.
On Wednesday, the 21th of March, an sprint session will be organised on valuable data avaiable in DINOloket, EMODnet and Open Earth. Read more and register (free of charge) at this event page!
Preliminary program
There are time slots for over 40 oral presentations of 7 minutes each. Questions from the audience will be answered during the time slot at the end of each session. There will be separate a Thursday and a Friday poster session, each preceded by 1-minute pitches. To make everything go smoothly and ensure that there are no mishaps with video, audio, animations or other fancy effects, we request the presenters to send their PowerPoint presentation for testing by Wednesday March 21 at 13:00 h.
