The 3rd Euskampus-Bordeaux Symposium has recently been held (26-27 June 2017) at Bordeaux University, within Week 26-International and Innovation Week. This symposium was co-organized by the University of Bordeaux and the Euskampus Community (University of the Basque Country, Tecnalia and the Donostia International Physics Center, DIPC) within the framework of the Bordeaux-Euskampus Euro-regional Campus of International Excellence.
We participated in this event, leading one of the different Scientific Workshops organized within such symposium: Workshop on “Ecosystems and integrated land management” coordinated by Dr. Michel Mench and Dr. Carlos Garbisu. The aim of these scientific workshops is to establish and consolidate collaborative initiatives focusing on specific themes related to research, promotion and training.
We identified the following research domains of mutual interest: Ecological restoration and conservation; Plant exposure/Food safety/Human health; Landscape resilience; Rural and Urban interactions; and Integrated land management. Finally, we prioritized the following topics: (1) Phytomanagement/remediation of degraded/contaminated soils; (2) Exposure/Bioavailability (nutrients, contaminants); (3) Structural/functional biodiversity, biotic interactions; and (4) Ecosystem services: methods and tools.
