SMILES Working Group Leaders participate in Webinar Series on European Islands

Three leaders of the SMILES Working Groups and the Action Chair will participate, at the end of October, in a webinar series on islands organized by the University of the Balearic Islands.

The initiative — part of the Webinar Series on Islands — focuses on biodiversity and landscapes of European islands, exploring the integration of ecology and land use. This scientific meeting represents a new opportunity for interdisciplinary exchange, fostering dialogue among researchers and specialists studying insular ecosystems.
