Policy Events

The BES External Affairs Team organises meetings, events and seminars between ecologists and policy-makers. We facilitate discussion about key issues in ecology and in policy. The BES also run activities at key public events such as the British Science Festival.

Regular events

Policy Training Workshop

The BES and Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) worked together to organise a policy training workshop each year between 2009 and 2011.

This year the BES is running the event for members and non-members, on 22nd – 23rd October 2013.

The workshop aims to give early career researchers in ecology an insight into how the policy making process works, and how to communicate effectively with policy-makers. Find out more information here.

Annual Meeting

In 2013, the BES Annual Meeting will take place as INTECOL, the largest conference for ecological scientists in the world.
