The European Ecosystem Services Conference hosted around 60 sessions, which are clustered thematically:

B. Biome sessions

C. Capacity building/networking sessions

G. Generic/regional based sessions

O. Other sessions

P. Policy and/or business related sessions

S. Sessions related to projects/processes 

T. Thematic sessions 

P. Poster abstracts

 

For each session we created a book of abstracts. The book of abstracts of each session includes a session description, session programme (if provided) and all abstracts which will be presented during the session. To open a book of abstracts, please click on the link of the session.

A separate book of abstracts for poster abstracts will be created still. Also, we will still upload a book of abstracts for sessions without a link. 

Please note that we will only distribute the book of abstracts digitally. To respect the environment, we kindly request you to only print what you deem relevant.
