Above are the sponsors of our association. Besides these sponsors, we also get financial backing from our chair groups. Without their contribution, we would not be able to organise all activities for our members. All these chair groups contribute to the courses that are given during the Bachelor and Master of our study.
Chair groups
Forest Ecology and Forest Management (FEM)
We aim to understand the structure and functioning of forest ecosystems and their responses to changing environmental, biotic and social conditions, and to apply this knowledge for the development of sustainable forest resource use systems.
Forest and Nature Conservation Policy (FNP)
The Forest and Nature Conservation Policy Group offers a wide range of courses in different educational programmes such as the bachelor's programmeForest and Nature Management (BBN), master's programme Forest and Nature Conservation (MFN), the Sustainable Diplomacy track (SDD) and various PHD courses and opportunities.
Plant Ecology and Nature Conservation (PEN)
The Plant Ecology and Nature Conservation Group studies and teaches the processes and underlying mechanisms that link biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and service delivery and aims to implement these insights in the design of effective biodiversity conservation strategies.
Soil Geography and Landscape (SGL)
Our mission is to improve and share understanding of soil patterns and landscape dynamics. We take an integrative approach that combines biophysical and human elements to gain insight in past, present and future system dynamics, and to support sustainable land management.
Wildlife Ecology and Conservation (WEC)
In the Anthropocene, human pressures on wildlife are reaching unprecedented levels. Animals, plants, and entire ecosystems must bear these pressures across different spatial and temporal scales. The Wildlife Ecology and Conservation Group studies how humans influence wildlife. We examine both direct mechanisms like hunting and fire, and mechanisms that are more indirect and that are part of larger-scale processes, such as climate change.
