Along with ecological patterns, also the mechanisms driving […]

Panel Discussion “Improving cooperation between EC-ESA projects”

The objective is to exchange on projects progress and plans, data sharing, and to discuss how to further avoid duplication and enhance synergies (e.g. facilitate data accessibility through harmonised platforms, identification of common test sites, harmonization of validation and decision making tools) to advance knowledge. Strategies and actions to enhance collaboration on joint communication and […]
