Its essence is deceptively simple: establishing partnerships that focus expertise on countries rich in biodiversity but poor in financial resources. This has proved efficient and cost effective with more than 830 projects successfully completed in 157 countries with a total expenditure of over £97 million. What lies ahead for this influential initiative? This event is free and open for all, registration is not necessary. Tea and coffee will be served in the Library prior to the event and a wine reception will follow This is a joint event with the Systematics Association. ------------------------------------ If you would like to include a seminar, event or a seminar series to the CEE, please e-mail details of the event, at least two weeks before the seminar date, to cee@xxxxxxxxx<mailto:cee@xxxxxxxxx>.
