The next meeting of the Expert Panels on Meteorology/Phenology will be held from October 4^th to 6^th, 2011 in Vienna/Austria at the Research and Training Centre for Forests, Natural Hazards and Landscape (BFW). The meeting will start at Tuesday afternoon, on Wednesday we will have a field course on phenological autumn phases to the Vienna Woods and on Thursday noon the meeting will end.

Back to back to the Expert panel meeting we will have a workshop on leaf area index measurement (LAI) to draft a separate manual for this new survey. At this workshop we want to discuss the experience in LAI measurements made during the FutMon project and we will work on a draft of a LAI manual. The workshop will start at Thursday (October 6^th) afternoon and ends at Friday (October 7^th) noon.
