Within MEMO² 13 Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) will be trained. All ESRs are closely working together to identify and evaluate methane (CH₄) emissions and to support mitigation measure. As this is a complex and divers research field, and each ESR will contribute by working on a defined sub-project.
