  • What challenges and opportunities do both program and project leaders and members experience in terms of integration? What strategies do they employ to overcome challenges and leverage opportunities?
  • What best practices and lessons learned can be derived for future projects, programs or initiatives aiming at fostering integration at the interfaces of science, policy and practice?
  • What challenges and opportunities do early career researchers in the field of biodiversity research face in establishing their academic career at the interfaces of science, policy and practice?
  • What lessons learned can be derived to support early career researchers in establishing academic careers at the interface?
- and transdisciplinarity in both theory and practice and are expected to have good integrative skills and high social and emotional intelligence.
