European Forum on Integrated Environmental Assessment – EFIEA II
Integrated environmental assessment (IEA) is an active and rapidly developing field. It involves scientists and decision makers from a diversity of backgrounds and communities. Many approaches to this complicated but promising field co-exist. In order to have integrated environmental assessment bear its best possible fruits, cross-fertilisation of the various approaches practised in this field and community building are needed. By involving scientists and decision makers from a diversity of backgrounds and communities, the network of the Concerted Action EFIEA serves this purpose.

More than 40 institutes in the EU, Canada and the USA take part in this programme, involving numerous researchers and policy-makers.
