The second NordBorN meeting was held in Denmark on March 25-27, 2025, hosted by our colleagues from Aarhus University. Twenty NordBorN members participated in the meeting in person, and others joined online for parts of the meeting. All the nine NordBorN partners were represented at the meeting.

One of the highlights of the meeting was the visit to the to the Mols Laboratory rewilding center, where we had the chance to learn more about rewilding efforts in Denmark and discuss borealization under the sun.

This year, we had the honour to host some guest researchers from Anglia Ruskin University who are studying the social implications of borealization. As well, during the meeting we had the opportunity to hear more about the research being done by our early career scientists, and to discuss future opportunities for collaboration.

Thanks again Niels, Efrén and Gala for a superb organization on the ground, and of course Mariana V for the endless support.

The first NordBorN meeting was held in Iceland on March 5-8, 2024. This first meeting was hosted by the Agricultural University of Iceland, and was held at the beautiful campus of AUI in Hvanneyri. Twenty-one project members participated in the meeting and a few others joined online. All the nine NordBorN partners were represented at the meeting.

During the meeting we used some time to introduce the work that we are doing as individual researchers, to find connections and potential synergies. We brainstormed on future collaborations within and beyond the network, and had a lot of discussions of what borealization really means. We solved some practical issues and we hosted an open meeting to invite other researchers to join NordBorN activities. We are looking forward to the next five years of collaboration!
