The National Biodiversity Future Centre (NBFC), "Ca Foscari" University in Venice and the Institute of Marine Sciencs of the National Research Council of Italy (Cnr-Ismar) are organising, from January 27th to February 1st, the First Winter School in Biodiversity. What is biodiversity? What are the different biological levels of biodiversity? What are the ecosystem services and their effects on human health, food production, and energy supply? How is biodiversity conservation regulated by law?
The Winter School aims to investigate and discuss all these questions through an interdisciplinary approach, providing six days of full immersion in a multidisciplinary context, focusing on the following topics:
- Transformative methods for environmental planning
- How to study biodiversity from an ecological perspective
- Scientific and societal perception of biodiversity
- Living territories: legal biodiversity
- Media framing of biodiversity
- Preservation of biodiversity: a science to policy perspective
- Biodiversity and polar sciences
- Biodiversity through the lens of socio-anthropological studies and Science and Technology Studies (STS)
- Biodiversity and alien species
- Considering sex-based differences in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems to mitigate biodiversity loss
- Urban and coastal biodiversity
- The role of ecological modelling for biodiversity conservation
- Political epistemology of biodiversity and the biosphere
- Humans, trees and water: doing social science fieldwork in high biodiversity areas, and the case of Khasi tribes in India
- How microbial diversity drives multifunctionality in terrestrial ecosystems.
The keynote will be held by Isabel Sousa Pinto, Professor at the University of Porto and Group Leader of the Coastal Biodiversity Research Group at Ciimar.
The introduction will be held by Maria Chiara Carrozza, President of the CNR.
