The BEES Xmas market brings together people from
academia, public administration and civil
society, from Belgium and abroad, with one
common interest: ecosystem services. <br>
The BEES market is the perfect spot to exchange
ideas, learn from other experiences and discover
how ecosystem services are transformed into real
products or daily life applications. <br>
<br>
The concept? A cozy afternoon in a friendly Xmas
market-like atmosphere*, some special guests: the perfect event to
wrap up 2016 in a useful and fun way! You can
choose to have a stand, give a training session
or just to enjoy the market (for practical info
on stands or sessions, <a href="http://bees-secretarial@biodiversity.be" target="_blank">contact us</a>).<br>
