The CASCADE Webinar Series
Friday 21st March 2025, 1pm - 2pm GMT
In CASCADE’s opening webinar, we heard from the highly successful Eklipse project, which aims to bridge the gap between policy and knowledge on biodiversity in Europe. The webinar began with a presentation from Nils Bunnefeld, Professor of Biological and Environmental Sciences at the University of Stirling, and co-chair of Eklipse. This was followed by a Q&A exploring how to improve linkages between academia and policy, and how to design and implement effective knowledge exchange. The session was chaired by E.J. Milner-Gulland, Tasso Leventis Professor of Biodiversity at the University of Oxford, and leader of CASCADE.
