| 2024/09/02 - 2024/09/07 | Organisation volunteer in NEOBIOTA is the European Group on Biological Invasions. It was founded in 1999 in Berlin as a consortium
of scientists and environmental managers aiming to enhance integration of invasion research and strengthen approaches to counteract
negative effects of introduced organisms on biodiversity, ecosystem services and human health. NEOBIOTA addresses theoretical
and applied aspects of biological invasions, but also aims at educating the public and consulting with policy makers. (2024/09/02
