The LifeWatch ERIC Working Group on Biodiversity & Ecosystem Responses to Climate Change, and National Biodiversity Future Center organise the workshop on “Biodiversity and Ecosystem Responses to Climate Change“, to be held in Lecce, Italy, on 12 and 13 June 2025.

The second day of the EULAC EnergyTRAN mobility event took place at the Statutory Seat of LifeWatch ERIC. This initiative aims to strengthen scientific collaboration between European and Latin American research infrastructures for  environmental and energy transition domains.

The Marine Environment Service (FPS Public Health) and the Shipping Directorate-General (FPS Mobility), with the support of LifeWatch Belgium (VLIZ), are collaborating on a campaign to raise awareness about underwater noise pollution among the wider public and promote measures to limit its impacts.

LifeWatch ERIC and ULPGC-ECOAQUA will participate to this year's FIMAR event and engage with its participants at their exhibition booth. 

The initiative will highlight the activities carried out in the Macaronesia DA in the framework of the project Marine SABRES. 

Alejandro Ordonez Gloria, Associate Professor at the Aarhus University Center for Ecological Dynamics in a Novel Biosphere (ECONOVO), offers a vivid visualisation of the current biodiversity crisis,  but today’s tools give us a historic opportunity: not just to see what’s coming, but to choose a different outcome!

"Biodiversity is intrinsically scale-dependent”.  The study of the species-area relationship could help us understand how biodiversity can be affected by space, across a full range of scales. Bill Kunin, Professor at the University of Leeds, tackles one of spatial ecology’s biggest challenges: how do we accurately upscale biodiversity data?
