Launch of Biodiverse Anthropocenes

Biodiverse Anthropocenes is delighted to invite you to attend its official launch on 28 April from 10am to 12.30pm. To give you more in-depth information about our new and innovative research programme, we have arranged the launch event in two sessions. In the first session, selected members of the programme will give online talks, where they present their current research and how it is linked to Biodiverse Anthropocenes. In the second session, an in-situ roundtable discussion among management group members will take place to discuss future plans.
