NERN - The Netherlands Ecological Research Network

The Netherlands Ecological Research Network (NERN) is a network which all people working in the field of ecology and evolution in the Netherlands and neighbouring countries can be part of. The network is supported and driven by a collaboration of Dutch graduate schools, research institutes, and universities that are significantly involved in fundamental research in ecology, evolution, and biodiversity.
For more information about the partners in the network see: Affiliated Groups.
