Inspiring talks by Terese Thoni (CEC, Lund University), Åsa Kasimir (Earth Sciences, University of Gothenburg) and Paul Miller (INES, Lund University) set the scene for eye-opening and fun discussions in an intense afternoon workshop led by Deniz Koca (CEC, Lund University), triggering reflections on links, conflict and synergy between research questions central to the strategic reserach areas MERGE and BECC. On the second day, a much appreciated presentation by Sustainability advisor Bodil Elmqvist gave a glimpse of what it can be like to work with land use and climate adaptation in a role outside the university. A major take-home from the meeting was to embrace and accept the challenge to both acknowledge and tackle complex research questions in a creative way.
