1 Creating a Network of Knowledge for biodiversity and ecosystem services BiodiversityKnowledge A Network of Knowledge to help improve decision-making Carsten Neßhöver, Marie Vandewalle, Christoph Görg & Heidi Wittmer UFZ Science-Policy Expert Group Estelle Balian (Belgian Biodiversity Platform) The KNEU Coordination Action is supported by the European Commission under the 7th. Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development (Grant No )

2 The Network of Knowledge approach The background IMoSEB 1st work programme EU 2010 Biodiversity strategy Concept note EU 2020 Biodiversity strategy EU 7th EAP New & innovative approaches beyond assessments Dialogue, networking and inclusiveness Methodological diversity Integration across challenges 1. Strong focus on Process 5. Building capacity 2. Including different groups 4. Usable outputs for policy 3. Communicating effectively

3 Science-Policy-Society-Interfaces Ways in which scientists, other knowledge holders and decisionmakers link up to communicate, exchange ideas and tailor knowledge jointly to enrich policy and decision-making processes and/or research. SCIENCE POLICY KNOWLEDGE DECISION- MAKING SOCIETY

4 Science-Policy-Society-Interfaces A crowded space of knowledge holders and interfacers SCIENCE IUCN EEA POLICY FP projects JRC KNOWLEDGE DECISION- MAKING SOCIETY

6 Functions 1. Networking and capacity building 2. Answering decisionmaking needs 3. Identification of knowledge gaps and research needs 4. International collaboration Added value: beyond established Better access approaches: to knowledge Consolidated and its holders view from science, Enhance including collaboration other forms Making of links knowledge between as Evolving needed knowledge out of forms the role and of Using decision-making tested methodologies explicit of synthesis more Transparency Enhance responsiveness of processes (FP5-FP7) One and cost-effectiveness entry point for requests Complementary to existing institutions
