Date and Time
22 October 2010 13:15 - 14:45

Meeting
Tenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (COP 10)

Exchanges and cooperation between biodiversity stakeholders are crucial to comply both with business needs and research needs. The French Foundation for Research on Biodiversity and Orée, an organisation for companies, territories and environment, act as a science-society interface through the promotion of dialogue between diverse stakeholders and the development of joint views to face biodiversity issues. Case studies at the national level (examples of collaboration with companies, PhD thesis on accounting for biodiversity and ecosystem services, toward a Biodiversity Accountability framework…) will be presented.
