Facilitate and Communicate

Action 2

Engage a network of stakeholders in Nature-based Solutions and encourage the development of new ideas

To carry out innovative research on Nature-Based Solutions (NbS), the approaches and concepts in this field need to be further developed and shared, both within the scientific community and among the different stakeholders.

A better mutual understanding of the actors who are working or could potentially work on NbS is also essential.

To this end, the SOLU-BIOD program will implement several communication activities:

Webinars to explore specific NbS topics, featuring several researchers and professionals recognized in their field
Editorial and multimedia productions to present the concept of NbS and the results of SOLU-BIOD projects
Scientific conferences—at the launch, mid-term, and end of the project—with presentations by international experts, including members of the Scientific Council and participants from certain SOLU-BIOD research projects or living labs
Workshops to enable experience sharing and engage the community involved in the funded actions and projects
Public presentations to make the main research findings on NbS accessible to a wider audience

As part of these activities, our communication tools include:

The SOLU-BIOD newsletter to maintain a connection with the community of researchers and stakeholders involved in SOLU-BIOD
The program website, including pages dedicated to the program’s activities
A LinkedIn account to share news about the program and research on NbS
Videos to communicate about the program and disseminate the latest findings of French research on NbS
