The Transformative Change Seminars is a webinar series by 7 Horizon Europe projects (part of the Transformative Change cluster of projects) working on transformative change for biodiversity conservation, aiming to foster collaborative learning, enhance synergies on concepts and methodologies, co-create adaptive solutions and tools and showcase shared experiences.
This 2nd webinar in the series is focused on “Methodologies for mapping systems interactions” and will feature insightful presentations from the BIOTRAILS, BIONEXT, CircHive and MOSAIC Horizon Europe projects. Hosted within the Ecosystem Services Partnership education & training webinar series, this particular webinar will be touching upon methodologies such as Life-Cycle Assessment, Participatory System Dynamics Modelling, Structural Equation Modelling etc., which researchers are using in biodiversity-driven transformative change research efforts. The audience will have the chance to pose questions to the presenters and discuss the methodologies’ strengths, challenges and experiences in employing them.
