Complexity, uncertainty and socio-political ambiguity are key challenges in modern environmental governance. Integrated approaches are needed in order to foster collaboration between diverse sets of actors, over wide ranges of issue-areas, emphasizing sustainability, human health and ecosystem integrity.

Authors are invited to submit abstracts for oral presentations relating to coping with uncertainty in general, and to the individual workshops (presented to the left) in particular. The aim is that a selection of the presented abstracts will be invited to participate in a special issue of an international journal.

This conference will combine keynotes by leading scientists and practitioners with presentations and discussions in thematic workshops. Scientists, experts, practitioners and stakeholders interested in science-policy interactions are invited to participate in the conference. Platform presentation is not a requirement for attendance. Total number of attendants will be limited to 120.

The conference is organized by CBEES, Centre for Baltic and East European Studies.
