The Belgian Forum on Invasive Species (BFIS) and the RAPID Life Project (Reducing and Preventing IAS Dispersal) are co-organising an event in Brussels on 18/12/2019 to facilitate the exchange of information on IAS prevention and management between stakeholders in different European countries.

The aim of the festival is to strengthen understanding of the role of citizen engagement across the policy cycle.
