You can still vote for the #PublicChoiceAward until 12 September at vote.europanostra.org

Might I suggest that you put in a vote (you get three!) for this multidisciplinary smell project @odeuropa.bsky.social that ran from 2021 to 2023? #hinthint

Also Dijon is an amazing place, I will need to come back to explore it more, but at least I got a teaser of some fabulous Burgundy wines, the old city centre and the Olympic Swimming pool (that was outside the conference social programme, I just added that to my personal schedule myself 😇) 3/3

Yearly office first responders training. This time with iPad stats on the CPR, virtual fires and a colleague hidden away in a tiny corner on the 4th floor that we missed on our first sweep (sorry!) #neverstoplearning #bhv @knawhuc.bsky.social

It’s always fun to hang out at the @knaw-nl.bsky.social headquarters. Especially when you get to do an infographics workshop and have lunch in the library 😀 ✏️📊🖼️
