Our first EFIB news of this year is a  The first EFIB News o of the year is to remind you the events in which we will participate and we trust that  are of your interest: Bern, Colombia. Alicante …SW Bioengineering as a tool for the challenges we face. Important challenges, therefore we think in joining forces with other organizations, to be able to move forward and as the motto of the SER congress in Alicante says work together towards a new green deal for Europe’s Nature!

5^th International Conference on Soil, Bio-and Eco-Engineering

13^rd and 19^th JUNE 2020- PRELIMINARY PROGRAM

EAs in the preceding SBEE conference series, we will bring together researchers, practitioners, geotechnical and civil engineers, biologists, ecologists, geomorphologists and foresters to discuss current problems in soil-resource sustainability, soil erosion and slope-stability research, and how to address these problems using soil, bio- and eco-engineering techniques. The Verein Für Ingenieurbiologie with the European Federation of Soil and Water Bioengineering collaborates whit the School of Agricultural, Forest and Food Sciences HAFL of the Bern University of Applied Sciences.

A NEW GREEN DEAL FOR EUROPE’S NATURE

Science and political action towards socio-ecological restoration

The organizing committee and the University of Alicante welcome you to the 12^th European Conference on Ecological Restoration SERE2020! Between August 31 and September 4 2020, we will discuss challenges facing ecological restoration in post-2020 Europe, and particularly, how can ecological restoration promote the recovery of damaged, degraded and destroyed socio-ecological systems in these critical times.

The European Federation of Soil and Water Bioengineering and the Spanish member AEIP Asociación Española de Ingeniería del Paisaje, collaborate  in this evente and wil organize some activities around the Soil and Water Bioengineering and the ecological restoration, that will be announce soon. The members of AEIP and EFIB will have a special price to attend at this conference.  We wait for you abstract.

The period of abstract submission for Oral presentations and Posters is now open for the SERE2020 Conference, to be held between August 31 and September 4, 2020 in Alicante.

The Scientific Committee invites and encourages all authors to submit their abstracts for consideration and inclusion in the Scientific Programme.The online platform for abstract submission will be open until 17th April.

GREEN URBANISM Rome, 11-13 December 2019

Another international moment for EFIB members in the direction of Urban Water & Soil Bioengineering was the third International Conference of GU, Green Urbanism, of IEREK in Tor Vergata University (Rome, 11-13 December) discussing the importance of Sustainable Development by providing solutions towards zero-waste cities.

This the will of Chairman  of the Conference Prof. Ferdinando Trapani that with the Italian Gioia Gibelli (IALE member and keynote speaker in Rome) got two of the International Award for Liveable City.

One of the 10 Session, Sustainable Infrastructure and Mobility, has been coordinated by our Member Gianluigi Pirrera.
