The Valuing Nature Network brings together natural scientists and economists, alongside decision-makers in business and policy, who have an interest in valuing nature.

The Network Management Team run the Valuing Nature Network and oversee the research projects. The Management Team are advised by the Network Advisory Group.

Principal Investigator

Professor Ian Bateman - University of East Anglia.

Network Manager

Professor Steve Albon - James Hutton Institute.

The network community will be invited to bid for funds to organise and take part in research clusters (working groups). Working groups typically consist of up to 20 participants who might meet over several days, once or twice per annum, to explore an issue in more detail than would be possible in a one-off workshop.

Each will have support for buy-out research assistant time and for preparation and follow-up work to enable substantive outputs.

Calls will be posted at the end of the second quarter of 2011.
