Short news from the SCB-Europe Board meeting in Montpellier

Bonjour! It's a nice sunny day here in Montpellier, at the third day of SCB-Europe Section's board meeting. We are glad to have Geri Unger, the Executive Director of global SCB with us, and we have a new member on board Rustam Sagitov from St. Petersburg. He is an expert on European Russia's nature conservation. Having him on board opens new possibilities in expanding our membership and focus of activities towards the East and covering whole Europe. We are working hard on setting up the next ECCB which is  here 3-6 august in 2015. We also visited the venue, and Agropolis international where our local organizers are based. Here we also had a quite successfull miniconference, to introduce the SCB-Europe section. At Agropolises webpage you can find the list of the talks. We are going to upload posts informing you about what we are into here! :) Montpellier is a wonderful place, full with energy, cheerful and helpful local organizers, so I suggest to mark this date in your calendar: ****3-6 aug 2015*****
