Netherlands Annual Ecology Meeting 2011

The Netherlands Annual Ecology Meeting (NAEM) is a two-day event organised by NERN and NECOV (Dutch - Flemish Ecological Society) and supported by The Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO). This year the NAEM will be held in conjunction with the Darwin Days (7-8 February 2011) of the Darwin Centre for Biogeosciences. This means that the second Darwin Day is also the first day of the Netherlands Annual Ecology Meeting.

The set-up of the 2011 meeting is in accordance with previous years, which were a great success with over 300 participants.

Each day consists of:

A plenary session, in which a Dutch and an international world leader present their view on a specific topic in ecology Two sets of four parallel sessions. Session topics listed this year have been selected by an organising committee (Jacintha Ellers (VU), Rampal Etienne (RUG), Lourens Poorter (WU), Martijn Egas (UVA), Wolf Mooij (NIOO), Ellen Decaestecker (Katholieke Universiteit Leuven), Jaap van der Meer (NIOZ), Nicole van Dam (RU, Chair) and Claudius van de Vijver (WU, secr.)).
