Application process (Belgium)

Nominations are to be made via the online application form provided by the IPBES Secretariat, and available here – http://www.ipbes.net/applicationform.html

This form includes a section titled “B. Details of Government/Organisation supporting your nomination”, into which applicants must enter the following details for their application to be considered for endorsement by the Belgian government:

Type of nomination body: Government

Position of contact person: Belgian IPBES National Focal Point

Full name (nominator): Dr Hilde Eggermont

E-mail (nominator): h.eggermont ( at ) biodiversity.be

The deadline for submitting the IPBES online application form is 5 May 2016. However, applicants seeking Belgian government endorsement are required to submit their forms to the IPBES Secretariat by 28 April 2016. This is because it is necessary to sift the applications before the IPBES closing date. Consequently nominations made after this date cannot be reviewed by the Belgian panel and will therefore not be accepted. Early submissions are highly encouraged.

For any queries in preparing nominations, the process that will be followed or on the deliverables, please contact Dr. Hilde Eggermont (h.eggermont ( at ) biodiversity.be) or Dr. Hans Keune (hans.keune ( at ) inbo.be).
