Description

Innovation emerges where strong collaborations, extensive synergies and creative research networks are fostered. Nexus action builds on scientific cooperation and robust research ties towards advancing excellence, interdisciplinary research, and young researchers’/innovators’ empowerment. Providing decision-makers with the multifaceted knowledge needed to seize all opportunities to enhance synergies and minimize trade-offs is a significant objective for Nexus research. The Seminar will address how the Nexus knowledge is fundamental and how its translation for the private sector and policymakers can enhance its applicability in Europe and beyond. New trends/approaches on the Nexus implementation within the Biodiversity of natural ecosystems will be presented.
