Netherlands Annual Ecology Meeting (NAEM) 2016

The  Netherlands Annual Ecology Meeting 2016 (NAEM) will take place on February 9th and 10th in Lunteren. The meeting is organised by NERN and NECOV (Dutch - Flemish Ecological Society) and supported by the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO). One of the sessions will be coordinated by NatureCoast researchers and will have the title 'Ecosystem-based solutions to societal problems'.

Description: Innovative multidisciplinary projects increasingly aim at utilizing ecological processes to society’s advantage in response to flood risks, crop pests, environmental pollution, etc. This session gathers scientists interested in the ecosystem-based approach to societal problems. We welcome presentations on research findings or proposals of ecosystem-based projects, in the marine, aquatic or terrestrial environment, on micro and macro scales. We encourage speakers to connect both applied and fundamental research to societal challenges and discuss future opportunities.
