Thun, Switzerland
This year, the general meeting took place in Thun, Switzerland. Following the invitation of the Swiss association (SFG), 13 members of different countries came all their ways to Thun to discuss the activities of the upcoming year in person including board members online.
The intense day of elections, discussions and interactive brainstorming ended on the impressive green roof on the company CONTEC. The entire group was warmly welcomed with drinks and guided around the intensive green roof on top of the company building. The green roof includes different ways of the combination of photovoltaic and greenroof, has fruittrees, berries, a high variety of trees, a waterpond with waterplants and a lot more to discover.
