First Dahlem-type Workshop of the LifeWatch ERIC Internal Joint Initiative

LifeWatch ERIC needs to boost its construction and to engage users in developing their research activities into the Virtual Research Environments of the e-Science Infrastructures, by clearly demonstrating and documenting the added value these new technologies bring to address challenging hot topics. LifeWatch ERIC has started an Internal Joint Initiative with the exact aim of addressing these needs and reinforcing the positioning of LifeWatch ERIC within the biodiversity and ecosystem scientific community. As a subject for the demonstration case, LifeWatch ERIC has selected non-indigenous and invasive species (NIS). The LifeWatch ERIC Internal Joint Initiative starts with its 1st Dahlem-type Workshop: Current and future challenges of NIS in Europe, from 14 to 18 October 2019 in Seville. LifeWatch Belgium is one of the LifeWatch distributed centers participating in the workshop.
