Mountain Bike Route
On the morning of the 19th (i.e., day before the start of our meeting) we will celebrate a mountain bike route sponsored by Conor Bikes. The main goal of the route is to gain public visibility by promoting the use of bikes as a sustainable transport system to help reduce air pollution and mitigate climate change. For practical reasons, we need to limit the number of CAPERmed bikers to ten, which is also the number of bikes we can make available. If you are attending to the meeting and want to participate in the MTB route, please, contact us as soon as possible so we can allocate you a bike. We will give more details about the MTB route to those of you are interested as soon as they become available.
Best Poster Award
This year we will also have a “Best Poster Award” sponsored by Conor Bikes. The prize for the winner will be a mountain bike! So, please, get your posters in the best shape and be ready to bring a bike back home with you!

Activity 1. Mosses as bioindicators of air pollution and climate change: A coordinated study in the Mediterranean-Basin
In this coordinated, crowdfunded bioindication study we aim to take advantage of a Mediterranean scientific platform such as CAPERmed, devoted to the study of air pollution and climate change effects in Mediterranean Basin ecosystems, to implement the use of Pleurochaete squarrosa as a common biomonitor across the Mediterranean Basin.
Further information and how to participate here.
Map for selection of sampling points available here.
Sampling field sheet can be downloaded here.
Activity 2. Questionnaire
This CAPERmed edition we will present the draft of a questionnaire that will be discussed among the participants aimed at identifying the most relevant questions that need to be addressed in the area of “air pollution and climate change effects in Mediterranean ecosystems”. We will pay special attention to identifying questions that can be tackled or actions that can be implemented through a coordinated platform such as CAPERmed. The questionnaire will also target the identification of existing databases, research interests, required data, and existing research locations. Once ready, the questionnaire will be proposed to a broad audience of researchers through a free online survey. The gathered information will be used to write a short perspectives article. CAPERmed attendants that want to participate in the publication will be involved in the analysis of the results and in the paper writing. Examples of similar articles are Cameron et al., 2016 (doi:10.1016/j.apsoil.2015.11.012) and Eisenhauer et al., 2017 (doi:10.1016/j.pedobi.2017.05.003).
Astract submission
Abstract submission is now open.
To submit an abstract to CAPERmed 2018 please send us your abstract to [email protected] specifying if as oral or poster presentation.
Please note that presentations are expected to show a balance between description of research lines and results. For oral presentations, we are scheduling 10 minutes for the speaker’s presentation. Please, use PowerPoint or .pdf format.
Posters must be maximum 80 (width) x 90 (height) cm.
The abstract format can be found here.

How to reach Pamplona
BY TRAIN:
From Madrid: from ATOCHA Railway Station
From Zaragoza: from DELICIAS Railway Station
From Barcelona: from SANTS Railway Station
BY PLANE:
You can fly to Pamplona (PNA) from Madrid and Frankfurt. However, the airport is very small and very few passenger flights arrive daily.
Other possibilities are to travel to bigger airports located nearby.
Airport of Madrid-Barajas Adolfo Suarez (MAD): once at the airport of Madrid, you can take public transport, either bus or metro, to the ATOCHA Railway station. On the other hand, there is a direct bus to Pamplona from Terminal T4, which departs at 1:15 a.m. and arrives in Pamplona (Bus station) at 6.30 a.m.
Airport of Bilbao (BIO): When you arrive to the airport, take a shuttle (Bizkaibus line 3247) between the airport and the Bus Central Station in Bilbao (Termibus). Here, you can take a bus to Pamplona (La Union company).
Airport of Zaragoza (ZAZ): once you arrive to the airport, you can take the public transport (Airport Bus, line 501) from the Airport to the DELICIAS Railway Station (this is a combined bus and train station) from where there is a wide time option both in trains and buses. On Thursday, Saturday and Sunday there is a direct line from the Zaragoza airport to Pamplona.
Airport of Barcelona (BCN): when arriving at the airport, you can take public transport, either bus or metro that connects with SANS Railway station (for trains) and NORD Bus station (for buses).
BY CAR:
From Madrid (390 km)
From Bilbao (150 km)
From Zaragoza (180 km)
From Barcelona (480 km)
