Invasion Science: Connecting research, management and policy

We are excited to be holding our very first BES Invasion Science Group symposium, on  1- 2 November.

The programme will include 3 keynote speakers drawn from different invasion science sectors. We are also offering 12 x 5-minute ‘lightning talk’ slots for oral presentations and an afternoon poster session. The talks and posters will be focused on research that informs invasive species management and/or policy. Talk and poster abstracts can be submitted as part of the registration process.

Workshops

The programme will include two workshop sessions:

• Workshop 1: Assessing upcoming issues in invasion science – addressing policy needs with research
• Workshop 2: How to address gaps between pure & applied invasion science
