Training

An important component of URBES is the interaction with people outside of the project for mutual knowledge sharing between academics policy-makers, planners, practitioners and the public. Our training component allows knowledge from people with different positions in society to directly contribute on the project development. Training sessions will be carried out during 2013 and 2014 under the guidance of WP 9, with the aim to find how cities can develop to benefit human and ecological well-being with a long-term perspective.

The registration for the upcoming training session on Monetary and Non-monetary Valuation of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services in Barcelona, Nov 13-15, led by our partner ICLEI Europe, is now closed. We thank everyone who signed up and greatly look forward to the session.

The session is designed for policy-makers, planners and other practitioners who are interested in discussing and learning about practical implementation of ecosystems and biodiversity in urban development.
