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.
Forests at the heart of Sustainable Development
The objective of the "Science meets Parliaments and Regions" initiative is to promote this concept not only at EU level, but also at national, regional and local levels.
Since the EU Forest Strategy was adopted in 2013, the challenges for the European Forest Sector have been growing and the EU policy framework and the EU policies affecting forests have strongly evolved.
EurOcean has also launched an International Children´s art contest, so you can see how the next generation of Ocean custodians view it today. Encourage any kids you know to take part in the contest.
The Brussels-based EU Green Week 2018 conference will be starting on Monday 21 May and finishing on Friday 25 May.
The workshop results will feed into a ‘best practice’ report, to be produced following the event, summarizing these challenges and opportunities and making key recommendations for effective knowledge transfer.
The purpose of the Conference is to present the new EU Action Plan, which follows up the Fitness Check of the Nature Directives, and to discuss its implementation with Member States and stakeholders.
Member states organisations responsible for monitoring and managing of alien species, Biologic invasion researchers, citizen science researchers, industry, ECSA, GBIF, TDWG, GEO BON and EU BON, DG ENV, DG RTD and DG CONNECT
