The BElgium Ecosystem Services (BEES) cluster project aims at identifying and stimulating research on ecosystem services in
Belgium. It will do so mainly by organizing a series of workshops covering different aspects of Ecosystem Services (ES) Research. These
workshops will discuss diverse aspects of the issue, and will include a key note lecture by at least one key researcher from
abroad, specialised in the topic. The format of the workshop (presentations, debate, brainstorming sessions) can vary, depending on the
objectives of the workshop. It is very likely that the workshops will also lead to more intense bilateral communications with
experts from outside the project consortium.
