BioPlatform, a thematic network from FP5 supports the existing “European Platform for Biodiversity Research Strategy”
(EPBRS), a forum of scientists and policy makers representing the EU countries
and other European countries.
The aims of EPBRS are to promote discussion of EU biodiversity research
strategies and priorities, exchange of information on national biodiversity
activities and the dissemination of current best practices and information
regarding the scientific understanding of biodiversity conservation. EPBRS is a
network of scientists and policy makers that work in different fields of
Biodiversity and aims at improving the effectiveness and relevance of European
biodiversity research, fulfilling functions that provide significant components
of a European Research Area.
The papers and recommendations that are produced by this forum are freely
available to policy makers, the scientific community, environmental groups and
people in general. EPBRS addresses several social objectives by bringing
together policy-makers that represent a range of environmental interests within
the Community and scientists whose research is focussed on these environmental
interests.
In order to raise the international scientific community's awareness regarding activities of the Slovenian National Bioplatform in the field of bio-diversity, a short overview of the activities was prepared for the EPBRS Meeting in Florence (Italy) held between November 20-24, 2003. The presentation contains principal information about Slovenia, its natural potentials, policies and overview of the challenges for the SNB to face in the next months and can be found also on the web site of the European Platform for Biodiversity (see:
www.bioplatform.info).
