BELGIAN ENVIRONMENTAL ECONOMICS DAY (BEED)
Workshop
The Belgian Environmental Economics Day offers an opportunity to researchers in the areas of environmental, resource and ecological economics from universities, university colleges or research institutes in Belgium, to present their recent work. It is an academic one-day meeting open to all interested stakeholders (academics, public servants, consultants, students, …). BEED aims also at making the scientific discipline of environment economics more visible in Belgium. It can be seen as an intermediate platform between individual researchers and traditional international professional associations (European Associations of Environmental and Resource Economists EAERE, International Society of Ecological Economics ISEE, …)
