A Long-Term Biodiversity, Ecosystem and Awareness Research Network (ALTER-Net) is a partnership of 26 organisations from 18 European countries and is established by The European Commission through its Framework VI research programme. It is one of several Networks of Excellence established to achieve lasting integration of research capacity. ALTER-Net is integrating capacity across Europe to assess and forecast changes in biodiversity, structure, functions and dynamics of ecosystems and their services and is addressing biodiversity research in terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems. ALTER-Net aims to help deliver on the 2020 target by promoting a better integrated and stronger European biodiversity research capacity. The result will be the establishment of a lasting infrastructure for integrated ecosystem research, combining ecological and socio-economic approaches, and with greater emphasis on communication with relevant audiences. « less
