In June 2019, researchers, scientists, decision-makers, and practitioners of all disciplines convened in Ghent for the 2019 ALTER-Net & EKLIPSE Conference. The purpose of this conference was to consider the post-2020 European Biodiversity Strategy and the role of research in shaping this strategy and its goals.

The primary output of this conference is a collection of 12 Key Messages, which have now been published and submitted to the European Commission.

These twelve Key Messages result from a multi-phased, iterative consultation survey among the network's scientists and other knowledge holders.
