Dear all


Thansk for this. Unfortunately, I'm not able to attend the meeting in June.


as regards the two options, i do not have a preference, but I feel that it is very important to get the non-academic stakeholders to attend. Perhaps some existing organisations such as Biodiversa (with an excellent stakeholder engagement handbook) or Future Earht could be contacted to provide networks of stakeholders to be invited and engaged.


regards

Jari

Subject: Re: [ECA] Planning for PESC-4

Dear all,

As you may have seen, we have released a save-the-date earlier this week regarding PESC-4 next June. Please feel free to circulate the message within your network, and let me know if you have not received it.

I send you here the concept note with some updates, with two main points I would particularly like your feedback on:

  *   I suggested two scenarios regarding the participants we would like to see at PESC-4 in order to achieve the meeting's objectives. What do you think would be best? Other combinations are possible so feel free to suggest one if you think it would fit the purpose better;
  *   Regarding travel support for participants coming from Eastern Europe and Central Asia countries, we estimated based on previous PESCs costs that we would need a total budget of 18 000€ to cover travel, accommodation and food for eligible participants. The target of 30 funded participants (half of total participants number) is based on the ratio of funded participants from previous PESCs.

I look forward to getting your views on this or any other point related to PESC!

Best wishes,

Objet : Planning for PESC-4

Dear all,

After some initial discussions with colleagues in NeFo and the Hungarian Centre for Ecological Research, we would like to submit you the idea of organizing the 4th edition of the pan-european stakeholders consultation (PESC) in Hungary (specific location to be decided in the coming days). The French Foundation for Research on Biodiversity (FRB) would be happy to lead the process for developing the meeting documents and organising the logistics, with the support of the colleagues in Hungary who kindly agreed to host the meeting around the dates of 12-14 June 2017.

You will find more details on the proposed work in the concept note attached. I would greatly appreciate if you could have a look at the concept note and send me feedback on the relevance of the topics, objectives and programme for PESC-4, along with any thoughts or suggestions you may have to make this meeting as useful as possible for the stakeholders of the larger pan-European region. This is a very first draft so feel free to share any of your thoughts!

I would also welcome any proposal for in-kind or in-cash support for the organisation of the meeting. If there is a session or area of work you're particularly keen to work on (facilitation, chairing, presentation etc), please let me know! As for the in-cash contributions, you may remember that PESC usually provides some financial support for participants coming from countries where budget can be an issue, like in some Eastern Europe or Central Asian countries. Please let me know as soon as possible if you would have a small sum to put in the common pot so that I know early enough how many participants could benefit from such a financial support.

Do not hesitate to get in touch if you have questions on the documents, otherwise I look forward to receiving your first impressions on the concept note!

All the best,

Agnes
