Activities within DINA - the Danish Informatics Network in the Agricultural Sciences.

• From 1998 to spring 2002 I was a IT-coordinator (funded by DINA) for the DINA priority research area Spatial Statistics in Agriculture. As an IT-coordinator I together with Morten Larsen maintained a webpage on danish spatial statistics and image analysis activities with relation to agriculture and forestry. I furthermore organized several workshops (see above).
• From spring 2002 I was associated to the DINA Research School as an expert on statistics.
