Dear colleagues,
Registration is open for the Transmitting Science live online course "Introduction to Ecosystem Restoration". This course is ideal for professionals, graduate students, and practitioners in ecology, environmental science, and conservation.
Course webpage:

Course overview:
This course provides an introduction to ecosystem restoration (ER) and explores the fundamental principles, methodologies, and tools needed to diagnose, plan, and implement restoration projects.
The course covers key concepts in ecosystem restoration, linking them to practical case studies drawn from both the instructor’s experience and the scientific literature. It also addresses the main stages of ER, from the diagnosis of degraded ecosystems to the monitoring of restoration outcomes, as well as the relationship between society and ER. The course is based on the Society for Ecological Restoration (SER) Principles and Standards.
Through case studies from a range of ecosystems, participants will analyse real-world examples and apply widely used diagnostic and planning tools. The course encourages collaboration among participants from different regions. During the sessions, students will form groups and work together on specific tasks and case studies.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to understand the key components of a basic ecosystem restoration project proposal.
This course is ideal for professionals, graduate students, and practitioners in ecology, environmental science, and conservation, and it promotes a global perspective on restoring ecosystems.
Places are limited to 16 participants.
