Heyyy!! #MarineResearchers!!! Our new @azti.bsky.social summer school is here, on #AI and #citizenscience to monitor the #ocean and #biodiversity, with 6 Horizon EU projects #GES4SEAS #Obama-Next @guardias.bsky.social etc. RT #MarineEcology Info and registration here www.azti.es/en/event/sum...

Summer school co-organized by GuardIAS! Check the announcement!

Two ambitious multi-stakeholder projects (@guardias.bsky.social and OneSТOP) that aim to tackle the threat of invasive alien species have been launched at a conference in Europe this week. Learn more about these projects: erinn.eu/ambitious-pr... #invasiveSpecies #BiologicalInvasions #Biodiversity

News from the Guardias @guardias.bsky.social & Onestop @onestopproject.bsky.social Projects Kickoff Meeting has just been released. Read all about it at www.eurekalert.org/news-release... , witnews.eu/ambitious-pr..., www.alphagalileo.org/en-gb/Item-D... #GuardiasOnestopKickoff @ec.europa.eu

The Kickoff Meeting may be over, but the journey has just begun. We had a really productive 4 days with project partners & our sister project @onestopproject.bsky.social From the Guardias Project Consortium we look forward to engaging with you all again soon, #GuardiasOnestopKickoff @ec.europa.eu

@guardias.bsky.social discussions on developing evidence-based, data-driven approaches to assessing management feasibility of biological invasions in Europeans water @inbo.be @adriaenstim.bsky.social @diederikstrubbe.bsky.social

@liferiparias meets @guardias.bsky.social @onestopproject.bsky.social project coordinator Muriel Thirion @environment.brussels explains decision support tools & synergies

Looking forward to our session this afternoon, interacting with important projects such as #GES4SEAS, #LIFE-PROMETHEUS, #LIFE-RELIONMED, #LIFE-DUNIAS, #ClimateInvasives, #B-cubed, #LIFE-RIPARIAS #GuardiasOnestopKickoff

Last chance to vote! Decision will be announced by lunchtime today 😀

Pizza Time at the end of day 3 ❤️ Guardias and @onestopproject.bsky.social #GuardiasOnestopKickoff

Day 3 ✅ today was about getting down into the finer details of the tasks, brainstorming to ensure max impact & how we will work together. Success is fully synergised Work Packages that facilitate stakeholder engagement at all levels. @onestopproject.bsky.social @ec.europa.eu #GuardiasOnestopKickoff

As we approach the end of day 3️⃣ of our joint #GuardiasOnestopKickoff here are some afternoon session highlights: 📌 Stakeholder interview implementation on different levels 📌 Citizen science involvement through Sentinel garden schemes for #IAS 📌One-Biosecurity integrated governance for invasions

@inbo.be Teun Everts showcasing three aquatic invaders in Flanders for which the @guardias.bsky.social project will trial and test management interventions. From theory to practice!

looking forward to trialling more data driven risk management assessment & setting up European communities of practice on invasion management w many colleagues within @guardias.bsky.social

OneSTOP's morning of Day3️⃣is for Living Labs🇬🇧🇧🇪🇫🇮🇷🇴🇵🇹covering ports, distribution hubs, botanic gardens & different transportation infrastructures 🚙 🚄 ⛴️ eDNA & Computer vision detection tools connected to data pipelines so that #IAS information flows into the relevant systems #GuardiasOnestopKickoff

@adriaenstim.bsky.social outlining how @guardias.bsky.social project will develop data-driven tools to help managers assess the feasibility of biological invasions management invasions @inbo.be

Day 3 - still going strong! We're really looking forward to hearing case studies today and talking about knowledge management - also discussing IAS for modelling💪🏼 @onestopproject.bsky.social #GuardiasOnestopKickoff @ec.europa.eu

Excited to collaborate with @guardias.bsky.social from #GES4SEAS project. Tomorrow presenting it there

End of Day 2, but only the start of a great collaboration @onestopproject.bsky.social @ec.europa.eu #GuardiasOnestopKickoff

@inbo.be Rein Brys outlining how eDNA can be leveraged for early detection and monitoring of biological invasions within the scope of the @guardias.bsky.social project 🐠🐡🦐🦞🦀🦑🐙🪼🦂🕷️

We turned the camera the other way! Great afternoon hearing about the plans of Guardias & thinking about how we can share the passion and knowledge of this amazing group of scientists & researchers. Watch this space, more info to follow! @guardias.bsky.social @ec.europa.eu #GuardiasOnestopKickoff

So many synergies being highlighted at the #GuardiasOnestopKickoff meeting, reflecting how invasive species do not recognise human made boarders, either country names or ecosystem labels! We have to consider society, policy & biodiversity in both projects. @onestopproject.bsky.social @ec.europa.eu

As we progress with our agenda at #GuardiasOnestopKickoff 🚀 Presenters explore the #synergies between partners for the prioritisation of #IAS threats to species and sites of conservation interest 🛣️ @guardias.bsky.social

Starting day 2️⃣ of #GuardiasOnestopKickoff with insights on the development of methods for rapid detection of #IAS and use of innovative tools that underpin effective prevention 🎯 #InvasiveSpecies #Biosecurity @guardias.bsky.social

Day 2 - we're looking forward to a full day of collaboration! Today we are briefed on different Work Packages and discuss synergies to increase the impacts of our projects Guardias and OneSTOP #GuardIASOneStopKickOff @onestopproject.bsky.social @ec.europa.eu

In @guardias.bsky.social we will be modelling the distribution of freshwater invasive species, building upon #EASIN the EU system for invasive species and providing them with future scenarios Lots of freshwater invaders in the #EbroRiver where I live 🫢 so time to act! 💪 #GuardiasOnestopKickoff

What a fun way to finish our first day, a little play where two invasive species: the red crayfish and the blue crab, reflect on how they got to Europe, their impacts and complexities Big 👏 to the organizers of the get-to-know activities! #GuardiasOnestopKickoff

After discussing dissemination methods to maximise project impact, we are diving into stakeholder engagement and societal experimentation – from gamification to stakeholder workshops and co-creation in Living Labs #GuardiasOnestopKickoff

It’s time to decide! Do we stick with our draft logo or go with something new? Help us decide, which one would you pick? 1,2,3,4 or 5 or stick with what we have 😀 @onestopproject.bsky.social @ec.europa.eu #GuardiasOnestopKickoff

Good to meet all consortia of both new 🇪🇺 projects @guardias.bsky.social and @onestopproject.bsky.social today in #Ispra 🇮🇹 ➡️ Follow us to know more about how to tackle #invasivealienspecies

As am I! 👍🍻 Truly brilliant idea by @onestopproject.bsky.social and @guardias.bsky.social to have a joint kickoff! After all, whether they occur in aquatic or terrestrial ecosystems, invasive alien species are a true pain in the 🍑. Forces should be joined to tackle them!⚔️

#GuardIASOneStopKickOff meeting brings together science, tech and community engagement experts to tackle the problems caused by #invasivespecies. Kickstarting an innovative & comprehensive opportunity for the EU’s efforts to preserve biodiversity & protect ecosystems @onestopproject.bsky.social

The #GuardiasOnestopKickoff has officially started❕ We look forward to 4 days of planning how we can together (@guardias.bsky.social) tackle #InvasiveSpecies across terrestrial, marine & freshwater realms

And we r off for two very exciting #invasivespecies #horizoneurope projects @guardias.bsky.social @onestopproject.bsky.social @skatsanevakis.bsky.social looking forward to work w many new & familiar colleagues

The Kick-off Meeting for the Guardias and Onestop Projects starts today. These two exciting projects, look to collaborate in tackling #InvasiveSpecies across terrestrial, marine & freshwater realms. These Horizon Porjects are funded by the @ec.europa.eu #GuardiasOnestopKickoff

💥 Excitement builds as we gear up for the #GuardiasOnestopKickoff meeting on 20-23 Jan at the #JRC in Ispra, Italy! 🤌 🚀 Together with @guardias.bsky.social, we aim for lasting collaboration to tackle #InvasiveSpecies across land & sea. 🗺️ 👣 Follow us for updates on #GuardiasOnestopProjects 👈

🌿 Introducing #OneSTOP 🎉 A new EU-funded project to strengthen European #biosecurity by addressing terrestrial invasive alien species. We're breaking silos, fostering collaboration, and engaging communities to protect biodiversity. Stay tuned for updates on our mission! 📸 Mario Shimbov
