The second 2021 board meeting of the geoscience degree programmes was held on Friday, February 12 and packed with urgent operative issues as the planning of teaching for the next academic year is underway. We received some nice news from the upcoming Geology MOOC -project working group and planned to develop new forms of high-school collaboration.
