A Diversity of Biodiversity Topics

• Open calls -> no predefined biodiversity topics

Examples of Topics:

•Next Generation Models for Ecosystem Services and Biodiversity

• Effects of land use on the trade-off between biodiversity and provisioning ecosystem services

• Stoichiometric constraints of biodiversity – functioning relationships

• Importance of rare microbes for soil ecosystem services

• Biodiversity across spatial scales - linking macroecological models to local-scale biodiversity patterns

• How does biodiversity affect ecosystem functioning and community stability

A Diversity of Biodiversity Topics

What happened already? …a lot!

This week…

• Deepening Cummunication between synthesis centres

Aims of the Week


• Decide on concrete new collaborations (if wanted)

Aims of the Week



• Collection about possible scenarios how synthesiscentre can support global science-policy developments

Aims of the Week




• „White paper“ idea – „How to lobby for more funding in synthesis research“

Aims of the Week




• „White paper“ idea – „How to lobby for more funding in synthesis research“

• Collection of metrics/ways to quantify success of working groups/syntesis research beyond citationmetrics – based on discussion of our joint paper

Aims of the Week

• Lets use the WIKI

• Note Keeper – Every day someone else or do we use the Wiki for notes?

• I‘ll take notes today

Admin

• Carolin will give „Reimbursement intro“ (10min) on Thursday after 1st Coffe-Break 11am

• Friday is Anti & of course Anti-Anti-Islamic Demonstration in Leipzig – We‘ll monitor it and keep you updated aboutconsequences for travels etc

Collaboration Ideas


• Define a broad but important/timely topic (e.g. Food Security)

AND• Different Centres have call under this topic but with respect

to their specific focuses (e.g. more applied, datadriven,conservation etc)

Collaboration Ideas

THINK BIG IN ECOLOGY…

One overarching theme…

THINK BIG IN ECOLOGY…We need to collaborate more across continents including a substantial amount of researchers to move beyond fundingboundaries…


THINK BIG IN ECOLOGY…We need to collaborate more across continents including a substantial amount of researchers to move beyond fundingboundaries…

Ecology (e.g. global monitoring, global genome projects, global biodiversity/ecosystem service assessments) can(only) make progress when supported more substantially(think in comparison with Physics e.g.)

Science-Policy Support


• Using via scoping meetings @ FutureEarth workshopsidentified research gaps

?




AND• Work on them on specific thematic calls for working groups

(maybe even @ different centres simultaneously)

?




AND• Work on them on specific thematic calls for working groups

(maybe even @ different centres simultaneously)• Like small assessment reports done by several

synthesis working groups

?



• Bringing in research gaps identified in synthesis workinggroups into the research agenda of larger frameworks like Future Earth or Belmont Forum or even IPBES?
