Reducing the Impacts of Non-native Species in Europe (RINSE)
Start date: Dec 31, 2011, End date: Sep 29, 2014,
RINSE delivers a cross-border approach to the targeting and management of invasive non-native species (INS) in the 2 Seas Area. The introduction and spread of these species beyond their native range can cause serious ecological damages as well as a negative impact on the local economies. RINSE will make an important contribution to the new EU Strategy on Invasive Species by developing cross-border ...

Developing a Knowledge Network for EUropean expertise on biodiversity and ecosystem services to inform policy making economic sectors (KNEU)
Start date: Nov 1, 2010, End date: Apr 30, 2014,
"Knowledge about biodiversity and ecosystem services is well advanced in the European scientific community, as demonstrated by many excellent projects and their scientific impact. However, on the global as well as the European scale, there is a failure to communicate the knowledge gained into the policy-making process and society as a whole. Such communication efforts, must ensure that all relevan ...

Invasieve Exoten
Start date: Sep 30, 2009, End date: Sep 29, 2012,
De laatste jaren is er een toename van planten en dieren die van nature niet in onze streken voorkomen. Sommige uitheemse soorten vermeerderen zich zo massaal dat ze een bedreiging vormen voor de inheemse flora en fauna. Naast ecologische veroorzaken deze invasieve exoten ook economische schade. Soms leiden ze bovendien tot veiligheids- of gezondsheidsproblemen.In dit project wordt voor het eerst ...

European Biodiversity Observation Network; a project to design and test a biodiversity observation system integrated in time and space (EBONE)
Start date: Apr 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2012,
The key challenge addressed in the present proposal is to develop a biodiversity observation system that is transmissible, cost effective and provides added value to the currently independent data sources of in situ data and EO. There are three requirements: the production of protocols to enable extant data to be placed on a common framework for analysis; the provision of a sound scientific conce ...
