Scotland Policy Group: Joint meeting with the Scottish Government Biodiversity Science Group & Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management

19 – 20 September 2013, Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh

Together with the Scottish Biodiversity Science Group (BSG) and the Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management (IEEM), the BES is organising a meeting at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh in 2013.

The refreshed Scottish Biodiversity Strategy (due to be launched in May) will be the focus for the meeting. We will consider the research needs generated by the strategy and the challenges of knowledge exchange in science and policy.

The meeting follows our successful collaborative conference with the BSG and the British Society of Soil Science in Edinburgh in March 2012.

Registration

We encourage students to attend the meeting, to network with peers and policy-makers. A poster competition will provide opportunities for attendees to display information on their latest research.

Full details of the meeting and how to register will be available shortly.
