On 17-19 November, 2021, EuropaBON will be hosting the first of two workshops to demonstrate the operationalization of Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs) and Essential Ecosystem Service Variables (EESVs) for policy through so-called showcases, which are examples that show how EuropaBON could contribute to various major environmental policies of the EU. This invite-only event will bring together EuropaBON researchers involved in the EuropaBON showcases with stakeholders including scientists, data providers and end users of the data products to be developed. The aim of this workshop is to provide guidance as to how best to produce the EBVs/EESVs for each of the policy showcases. More specifically, this meeting aims to design workflows from biodiversity observations to biodiversity models and EBVs/EESVs, to supporting policy decisions.
The workshop, which will be a hybrid event, will take place at iDiv, Leipzig, Germany. An agenda can be found below. For more information, please contact nestor.fernandez@idiv.de.
