The Stakeholders’ Assembly

The science-society interface as a preferred location for action in favor of biodiversity.

Faced with the destruction of biodiversity, the fabric of life and human societies, interface spaces now appear as essential for halting its decline. They are spaces for reflection driven by multi-stakeholder expertise, drawing on academic research, but also promoting the integration of societal stakeholders’ concerns into the development of research questions.

 

Thus, through its role as a link between science and society, and via its Science-Society Partnerships division, the FRB contributes to strengthening the democratization of research and to co-creating research projects, particularly to initiate a transformative and sustainable transition in our societies. This commitment to facilitating interactions between researchers and stakeholders in society (both private and public) has been the Foundation’s mission since its inception. It therefore strives both to mobilize research to integrate societal challenges and to support stakeholders in order to increase the use of scientific expertise for effective policy action.

 

 

The members of the Stakeholder Assembly thus contribute to a shared expertise in:

 

• accessing the latest scientific knowledge and benefiting from transdisciplinary expertise in order to promote its integration into decision-making;
• raising awareness of biodiversity issues, participating in research projects, and contributing to the work of international bodies such as IPBES, the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD),
• the European Network on Infrastructure and Ecology (IENE), etc. See all the implications of the FRB ;
• having the possibility of mobilizing the expertise of the FRB, its Scientific Council (CS) and its network of researchers;
• pooling research needs, particularly within thematic working groups, or by co-constructing research projects.
