Meetings, Seminars & Workshops

The first official meetup of the R-Ladies Wageningen! We will meet at the small seminar room (second floor) at NIOO-KNAW and discuss our ideas for the coming meetups.

Tropentag is an annual, international conference on food security, natural resource management and rural development in the tropics (sensu lato). It is a development-oriented and interdisciplinary conference. It addresses issues of resource management, environment, agriculture, forestry, fisheries, food, nutrition and related sciences in the context of rural development, sustainable resource use and poverty alleviation worldwide.

Wageningen University and Research has a long history in contributing to the interdisciplinary study of earth system science and governance, and seeking solutions to both longstanding and newly emerging global sustainability challenges. This symposium revisits breakthroughs in interdisciplinary scholarship on these topics, by highlighting both current insights and identifying new frontiers of knowledge needed to address pressing nature-society interactions in the context of ongoing earth system transformations.

Sfécologie (the French Ecological Society's International Conference) will take place from 22 - 25 October 2018 at the historic Couvent des Jacobins in the old part of the city of Rennes.

Seven sessions highlight the advances in soil modeling during the ISMC Conference 2018.

Human social networks are currently more visible than ever due to the existence of social media. Yet social networks are not a human invention; they exist all around us in nature. From plants that use a thread-like fungus to warn each other about predators, to coral reefs that form sustainable recycling systems; in all natural systems organisms share information and resources to their own benefit and that of the network. On the PE&RC day 2018 we would like you to meet the scientists who discover and unravel the connections in nature’s social networks. We will take a look into the amazing functionality and connectivity of these natural networks and how we can learn from them to optimise our own man-made networks.

Is dierethiek een blinde vlek in het natuurbeheer? Of is in dit werkveld vooral de instandhouding van populaties en levensgemeenschappen van belang en hoeven natuurbeheerders geen rekening te houden met het wel en wee van individuele dieren? Over deze vragen organiseert de Heimans en Thijsse Stichting onder voorzitterschap van Frank Berendse een prikkelend symposium met als sprekers: Frans de Waal, internationaal vermaard primatoloog, Floris van den Berg, filosoof, en Esther Ouwenhand, politica.
