The European Ecosystem Services Conference, "Helping nature to help us," is organized by several EU-funded research projects (OPERAs and OpenNESS, in which ECNC is leading the “Impact and Dissemination” work package), ECOPLAN and the Ecosystem Services Partnership (ESP), and hosted by the University of Antwerp.

It will be the biggest European event in 2016 that links science, policy and practice on ecosystem services and natural capital.
