Alternet Seminar Series

Alternet Seminar Series

Conversations from the Alternet community on biodiversity and beyond, hosted by our member institutes. 

 

In 2019, UFZ hosted the first Alternet science policy interface webinar. Now, the Alternet Seminar Series has been re-launched to include all topics related to biodiversity and ecosystem services in diverse forums and formats. Is your institute interested in hosting our next seminar? Let us know!

Upcoming Seminar

The next edition of the Alternet Seminar Series will be held on 25 November 2026. Featuring BioAgora personnel, this seminar will take a look at key SPI concepts and principles, how the science service for biodiversity can increase policy impact, and examples of the ticketing system before opening an interactive session for all attendees.

Date: 25 November 2026
