Dear European GTS friends and enthusiasts,

We are planning a live GTS meeting to happen sometime in October or November in 2025, and would love to see who might be interested to join the meeting. At this point we are only gathering information to estimate the interest and the need for it, and we will make further decisions based on your answers. You are welcome to express yourself as you feel or think would be the best to make this meeting happen.

Proposed venue in Croatia; ZMAG (https://www.zmag.hr/en/ )

• 20 minutes from Zagreb airport in the forest

• ZMAG is a recycled educational centre with gardens, a seed bank, an event space and accommodation (15 people in common sleeping space + 5 more in smaller huts and tree house, and a huge forest for camping fans)

• Price: 380 euro / day  for the whole group (15 people) includes:

• renting the venue with everything included for the whole group (sleeping, using kitchen and meeting space, projector, chairs, outdoor space, etc)

• Food (three meals per day + chef)

• Final price per person per day depends on how many of us will participate, but roughly expected cost for accommodation, venue, food and other small logistical costs included would be around 25 euro per day per person (calculated based on 15 people)

Individual travel arrangements are not included in this calculation, only local travel to and from the airport and short trips to visit seed banks and farms
