A Diversity of Biodiversity Topics
8. • Open calls -> no predefined biodiversity topics
Examples of Topics:
• Next Generation Models for Ecosystem Services and Biodiversity
• Effects of land use on the trade-off between biodiversity and
provisioning ecosystem services
• Stoichiometric constraints of biodiversity – functioning
relationships
• Importance of rare microbes for soil ecosystem services
• Biodiversity across spatial scales - linking macroecological models
to local-scale biodiversity patterns
• How does biodiversity affect ecosystem functioning and
community stability

14. sDiv news…
9 new Working Groups & 3 new Postdocs will be
held/start in 2015/2016 as result of the 3rd call
1st sDiv workshop papers published
– Conservation Biology, PloS Biology, BioScience, Special Issue
Journal of Plant Physiology, PloSOne
sDiv hosts next global Joint Synthesis Centre Meeting
18. • Deepening Cummunication between synthesis centres
• Decide on concrete new collaborations (if wanted)
Aims of the Week
19. • Deepening Cummunication between synthesis centres
• Decide on concrete new collaborations (if wanted)
• Collection about possible scenarios how synthesis
centre can support global science-policy developments

synthesis research“
Aims of the Week
21. • Deepening Cummunication between synthesis centres
• Decide on concrete new collaborations (if wanted)
• Collection about possible scenarios how synthesis
centre can support global science-policy developments
• „White paper“ idea – „How to lobby for more funding in
synthesis research“
• Collection of metrics/ways to quantify success of
working groups/syntesis research beyond citation
metrics – based on discussion of our joint paper
Aims of the Week
22. • Lets use the WIKI
• Note Keeper – Every day someone else or do we use the
Wiki for notes?
• I‘ll take notes today
Admin
23. • Carolin will give „Reimbursement intro“ (10min) on
Thursday after 1st Coffe-Break 11am
• Friday is Anti & of course Anti-Anti-Islamic Demonstration
in Leipzig – We‘ll monitor it and keep you updated about
consequences for travels etc

27. PURE BRAINSTORMING
Why not…
• Define a broad but important/timely topic (e.g. Food
Security)
AND
?
Collaboration Ideas
28. PURE BRAINSTORMING
Why not…
• Define a broad but important/timely topic (e.g. Food
Security)
AND
• Different Centres have call under this topic but with respect
to their specific focuses (e.g. more applied, data
driven,conservation etc)
?

29. PURE BRAINSTORMING
Why not…
• Define a broad but important/timely topic (e.g. Food
Security)
AND
• Different Centres have call under this topic but with respect
to their specific focuses (e.g. more applied, data
driven,conservation etc)
• Have e.g. a final joint „small conference“ but at least a
intensive exchange among different groups and centres
?
Collaboration Ideas
31. THINK BIG IN ECOLOGY…
We need to collaborate more across continents including a
substantial amount of researchers to move beyond funding
boundaries…
One overarching theme…
32. THINK BIG IN ECOLOGY…
We need to collaborate more across continents including a
substantial amount of researchers to move beyond funding
boundaries…
Ecology (e.g. global monitoring, global genome projects,
global biodiversity/ecosystem service assessments) can
(only) make progress when supported more substantially
(think in comparison with Physics e.g.)
One overarching theme…
34. PURE BRAINSTORMING
Why not…
• Using via scoping meetings @ FutureEarth workshops
identified research gaps
?
Science-Policy Support
35. PURE BRAINSTORMING
Why not…
• Using via scoping meetings @ FutureEarth workshops
identified research gaps
AND
• Work on them on specific thematic calls for working groups
(maybe even @ different centres simultaneously)
?
Science-Policy Support
36. PURE BRAINSTORMING
Why not…
• Using via scoping meetings @ FutureEarth workshops
identified research gaps
AND
• Work on them on specific thematic calls for working groups
(maybe even @ different centres simultaneously)
• Like small assessment reports done by several
synthesis working groups
?
Science-Policy Support
37. PURE BRAINSTORMING
Why not…
• Bringing in research gaps identified in synthesis working
groups into the research agenda of larger frameworks like
Future Earth or Belmont Forum or even IPBES?
