This online workshop aims at providing a scientific and technical overview on Pan-European analyses, starting from eLTER grand-questions, leveraging collaborations beyond the eLTER networks and including methods and approaches in using eLTER data and sites.

The workshop is divided into two common sessions and independent work in between. In the first session (13 Nov), we will hear talks and presentations on Pan-European studies using eLTER data and introduce the workshop task focusing on continental scale questions. In the second session (20 Nov; TBC) there is time for discussion and questions on the work on selected datasets used for analysis. In time between the two sessions, the participants will have the opportunity to work on data with eLTER tools.
