XX XX
Date: October 6-8, 2010 Venue: Centre for Alternative Technologies (CAT), Wales, UK

Once more we invited our members to take part on an exciting European seminar. This year it was at the Centre for Alternative Technology (CAT) in Wales. We were glad to welcome 32 participants from 13 European countries. The event took place at the new WISE centre, where the building construction has just been finished. The full name of WISE is Wales Institute for Sustainable Education. The seminar was organised by INFORSE-Europe and CAT, which is member of INFORSE-Europe. It was supported by the EU DG Environment's Civil Society Support, AirClim and FoE Norway. Just before the INFORSE-Europe Seminar, there was a Low Carbon Societies Network Seminar on October 5, 2010. Program and Proceedings can be seen at the Low Carbon Societies Network Website.
