ES in practice award
ESP challenged the ESP10 participations to come up with and present innovative ideas to put the ecosystem services concept into practice. For this reason we organised a competition, the "ES in practice award". The aim was to find interesting applications of the ecosystem services approach that go beyond research. The idea could either be related to already existing innovations or brand new ideas.
A pre-selection of the best ideas was made. Those who were selected were kindly requested to pitch their idea during the 'ES in practice award' session on Thursday 24 October from 15:00-16:30.
Pre- selected ideas:
- BGI4Water - Blal Adem Esmail
- MeatiagoApp - Marco Allocco
