ESCom-Scotland (Ecosystem Service Community Scotland) is an emerging initiative to support collaboration between science, policy and practice to better manage Scotland’s natural resources.

ESCom aims to become a community of practice for ecosystem services research, decision-making and natural resource management in Scotland.

ESCom will be formally launched on the 29th of April, 2014. The evening launch reception will be followed by a two-day workshop.

The 30th April will be aimed at the full ESCom constituency, and focus on two central questions: ‘What would you like to gain from ESCom?’ And ‘What could you contribute to ESCom?’

The second day will be aimed at researchers, providing a space to show case their ecosystem services research and to look for collaboration. Participants are invited to submit abstracts, papers and posters on their work in ecosystem services to present at the conference (email kate.morrison@ed.ac.uk).
