2nd BiodiversityKnowledge Conference in Berlin, September 24-26 24.09.2013 - 26.9.2013

Place: Berlin, Germany With IPBES starting its work, Horizon2020 to be launched soon and the 7th Environmental Action Programme soon to be adopted, the efforts to strengthen the science-policy interface on biodiversity and ecosystem services in Europe are at a decisive point. After 2 years of challenging but highly gratifying work with you and about 300 other contributors, BiodiversityKnowledge is now organizing its second conference to discuss and finalize the recommended design of a future Network of Knowledge (NoK) on biodiversity and ecosystem services. The conference aims to provide an important building block for the future development of the interface between science and society in Europe. Participation is crucial at this point and therefore everyone is invited to attend this event, which will take place in Berlin from the 24th to 26th of September, 2013, as previously announced. The focus of the conference will be on presenting options for the NoK, which the BiodiversityKnowledge team has been developing over the past two years through working jointly with the biodiversity knowledge community. Stakeholders involved ranged from practitioners, researchers to policy makers. The conference will provide the space for institutions and any interested players to discuss these options and to voice their interests in contributing to the network of knowledge and outline the roles they can envisage for themselves.
