4th Conference of the URBIO network, October 09.-12. in Incheon, Korea
During the fourth conference of URBIO more than 400 scientists and practitioners from 20 countries discussed their latest research in urban ecology, biodiversity, ecosystem services and design. Many best practise projects have been shown and new projects presented. For the first time in URBIO's history a Student Poster Competition was held at the conference. The conference's results and future plans on the Research Agenda for Urban Biodiversity, Ecosystem services and Design have been put together within The Incheon Declaration URBIO2014 and presented at the City Biodiversity Summit at COP12 by the conference organisers.
