Enhancing Pollinator Ecosystem Services Understanding and Conservation - EPEC

Project Summary: Enhancing Pollinator Ecosystem Services Understanding and Conservation (EPEC)

The "Enhancing Pollinator Ecosystem Services Understanding and Conservation (EPEC)" project is a visionary initiative aimed at addressing crucial knowledge gaps surrounding the dependence of society and the economy on pollinators. In alignment with the European Green Deal and the EU biodiversity strategy for 2030, EPEC seeks to illuminate the vital roles of pollinators in both natural and human-modified ecosystems. 

Description:

The project's multifaceted approach includes in-depth research into pollinator ecology, the creation of an innovative platform for comprehensive information on animal pollination ecology, valuation of ecosystem services, risk assessment, and the development of practical tools for businesses, land managers, and planners. EPEC is committed to promoting pollinator conservation and safeguarding the invaluable ecosystem services it provides. Through collaboration with diverse stakeholders and the dissemination of knowledge, the project aims to foster a deeper understanding of the interdependence between pollinators, human wellbeing, and sustainable development, ultimately contributing to a more biodiverse and resilient future.

Consortium Invitation:

We invite potential partners, including researchers, experts, organizations, and institutions, to join the EPEC consortium. Collaboration is crucial to the success of this ambitious project. If you share our commitment to advancing the understanding and conservation of pollinators and their vital ecosystem services, we welcome your involvement.

We are actively seeking partners who bring diverse expertise and perspectives to the Enhancing Pollinator Ecosystem Services Understanding and Conservation (EPEC) consortium. We invite research institutions, experts in pollinator ecology, biodiversity conservation organizations, data scientists, businesses operating in sectors such as agriculture, medicine, energy, and materials, public authorities, farmers' associations, and civil society organizations to collaborate with us. Ideal partners should have a demonstrated commitment to advancing pollinator conservation, possess relevant research experience, and be willing to actively engage in collaborative research, tool development, and the dissemination of project outcomes. We value diversity in expertise, geographical representation, and stakeholder engagement capacity, as it will enrich our collective efforts to better understand and protect pollinators and their crucial ecosystem services.
