Program

On this page you find information on the conference structure, a program overview, and a session schedule.

Program elements

Keynote speakers highlighted the conference theme and provided context for discussion during the conference days.

During break-out sessions, various themes related to ecosystem services were presented. The themes were often, but not exclusively, related to the ESP Working Groups and National Networks. In each parallel session block, the ID codes of the sessions are listed. To see the session topics and descriptions corresponding to each session ID, please check the Session Overview page. Each session was led by one or various hosts. Next to the break-out sessions, a poster session was organised.

To improve science-policy-business nexus, a business track was organised. During the business track, attendees and external parties were offered the opportunity to exhibit their project, business, product or organisation at the Ecosystem Services market place.

Networking is an important aspect of conference participation. Several side-events, like a conference dinner and field trips, were organised for this purpose. These enabled delegates to get to know each other, and to enjoy and learn from the beautiful and interesting surroundings of Heraklion.
