The EB is supported by a web platform that facilitates online discussions about alien species.
This platform creates a virtual community by providing a forum-like interface that is moderated by the EB Members but is freely accessible to the scientific community and the general public. It allows all registered users to make comments, raise questions and share experience and expertise on alien species in Europe. Moreover, it provides a means for exchanging opinions and solving disputes in a transparent way.
The overall EB activity is commonly agreed upon procedures and standards.
