Interacting with society
Stakeholder interaction is an important asset of BECC – for advancing transdisciplinary research, for getting an understanding of the needs of the society, and also for reaching out, making sure that the knowledge built up is utilised outside academia.
BECC research offer decision-makers and society a scientific basis to manage biodiversity and ecosystem services in a changing climate. We work closely with leading research departments to build strong expertise.
BECC researchers write synthesis reports, policy briefs, and engage in outreach. BECC also co-organizes the Swedish Biodiversity Symposium – a major interdisciplinary conference where experts and stakeholders meet to drive progress in biodiversity.
Here are some examples of of different outreach material and activities - please explore and fell free to get in contact, download material or join our events.
On this page you will find all BECC policy briefs, and examples of other publications.
BECC is one of the main collaborators behind LU Land - a Swedish collaboration platform on land use for a sustainable future. Among other things, LU Land arranges recurring lectures and seminars with a large audience from academia, society and business.
BECC was one of the main organisers of the first Swedish Biodiversity Symposium. The aim of the conference was to share and discuss scientific knowledge on biodiversity, discover new perspectives and strengthen collaborations to promote positive developments in the field.
A second edition of the conference is planned for in 2027.

BECC has, together with the SRA MERGE, a stakeholder reference group. Its members are high-level experts, representing government authorities, branch organisations, companies and NGOs in areas of agriculture, forestry, nature conservation and climate change.
The Gothenburg Global Biodiversity Centre (GGBC) aims to link science and society around biodiversity and enhance and accelerate biodiversity research. BECC and GGBC share many similarities and collaborate in different ways. Om of our main collaborations is the Swedish Climate Symposium.

Together with a wider research network, we have established a collaboration with the visiting centre Naturum Skrylle, outside of Lund. One of our main contributions has been through the popular scientific exhibition: Klimatet och skogen.
