ALTER-Net is a partnership of 22 research organisations in Europe, developed in the EC´s Sixth Framework Programme. ALTER-Net´s mission is to improve the sustainable use, management and conservation of biodiversity and ecosystems through the integration of European interdisciplinary research capacity and knowledge. It will do this by working in partnership with its main European stakeholders in scientific, policy and public sectors, and by a training programme featuring an annual Summer School.

TheSummerSchool Objectives
The ALTER-Net Summer School shall contribute to durable integration and spread of excellence within and beyond the network, with a view to promote interdisciplinary approaches.
The 2010 Summer School will focus on:
Biodiversity and ecosystems in Europe;
Ecosystem processes, function, services and benefits;
Resilience of social and natural systems;
Valuation of biodiversity and ecosystem services;
Linking biodiversity research with policy and the public.

Experts will give lectures on the themes mentioned
above. Guided by tutors in the afternoons,
working groups will discuss implications
of findings for an actual European ecosystem
and its services and compile these results.
