Head of the Institute of Zoology < Back Prof. Thomas Frank Head of the Institute of Zoology Prof Frank is a zoologist with habilitation in ecology and has about 80 peer-reviewed SCI ranked research publications. He has expertise in biodiversity of arthropods, animal-plant interactions, predator-prey interactions, and land-use change effects on organisms. Currently, TF works on the effects of the re-establishment of grasslands on the promotion of farmland biodiversity and key ecosystem services, the impact of abandonment of alpine grasslands on biodiversity, regulating ecosystem services, human health and well-being, biodiversity monitoring in agroecosystems, and the implementation of linear semi-natural habitats adjoining intensively used grassland to support insect diversity. TF has led and leads/co-leads many national and international research projects, e.g. funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF), Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW), Austrian Ministries, and the EU. He worked for eleven years at the University of Bern, Switzerland. He currently supervises three PhD students and co-supervises two PhD students, and has been reviewer for about 35 scientific journals. TF is member of the managing board of the Ecological Society of Germany, Austria and Switzerland (GfÖ), advisor in the National Biodiversity Commission of Austria, and full member of the Österreichische Entomologische Gesellschaft (ÖEG).

University in northwest Germany renowned for its research and teaching in the areas of Humanities, Social Sciences, Science, Law, Business and Economics. < Back The University of Osnabrück University in northwest Germany renowned for its research and teaching in the areas of Humanities, Social Sciences, Science, Law, Business and Economics. UOS combines different scientific disciplines in research and teaching. Thinking beyond the borders of individual fields of expertise is fostered in a number of interdisciplinary institutes, of which the Institute of Environmental Systems Research (IUSF) is one. Changes in environmental systems, problems ensuing from these changes and their solutions are the focus of the activities of the IUSF, understanding environmental systems as dynamic interplay between nature and society. IUSF’s mission is to develop the knowledge base for understanding, assessing and transforming concrete environmental systems. IN FRAMEWORK UOS will lead on increasing understanding of farmers’ knowledge and behaviour with respect to agro-biodiversity management and to develop private and public incentives to foster farmer's delivery of agro-biodiversity as a public good, making use of the Farmer Cluster approach.

Julie Borg is Research Engineer at INRAE PSH Avignon, France, specializing in integrated horticultural production systems design. Her work focuses on agroecological transitions, combining model-based design methods with participatory approaches involving farmers and stakeholders. < Back Julie Borg Julie Borg is Research Engineer at INRAE PSH Avignon, France, specializing in integrated horticultural production systems design. Her work focuses on agroecological transitions, combining model-based design methods with participatory approaches involving farmers and stakeholders. Mz Borg works on the design of integrated horticultural production systems by combining model-based design methods (with the team modellers) and prototyping methods (with experts from research, technical institutes, experimental stations and with producers). She also contributes to characterise the decision rules of growers for orchard management and she analyses agronomic performances of these orchards. She is a Research Engineer at INRAE's Plants and Horticultural Cropping Systems unit in Avignon, France. With a Master's from Montpellier SupAgro, she specializes in designing low-input horticultural systems, particularly peach orchards and wheat cultivar mixtures. Her research combines participatory design methods, biodiversity integration, and multi-criteria performance assessment to support agroecological transitions in farming.

Head of Department for Organic Grassland Management and Husbandry. < Back Dr Walter Starz Head of Department for Organic Grassland Management and Husbandry. Mr Starz's work involves sustainable, organic grassland management and pasture management, including questions of forage quality, fertilization, soil quality and reseeding. He is also a lecturer at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences in Vienna.

Assistant Professor in Agronomy and Field Crops at SSSA. < Back Dr Anna Camilla Moonen Assistant Professor in Agronomy and Field Crops at SSSA. Dr Moonen graduated from the Wageningen University and obtained her PhD at the University of Pisa, Italy (2004). She works on vegetation management of field margins, the use of cover crops to manage weed communities, the management of functional agrobiodiversity in arable and horticultural cropping systems, and (co)designs innovative strategies for sustainable weed and pest management. She has ample experience in leading WPs and tasks in European projects, and she is used to perform research in a participatory environment in close collaboration with stakeholders and end- users. CM organised interactive teaching courses and summer schools (e.g., 4 ENDURE summer schools). She is active member of EWRS, frequently reviews papers and project proposals and is a subject editor of Weed Research. She (co-)authored 26 publications in peer reviewed journals and has 60 publications in books and conference proceedings (h-index: 16).

Research Engineer in the Biodiversity Monitoring & Assessment pole of ERIN/LIST < Back Dr Sarah Vray Research Engineer in the Biodiversity Monitoring & Assessment pole of ERIN/LIST Dr Vray has a master’s degree in the Biology of organisms and Ecology from the University of Liège (Belgium), and a PhD in Science (Biology) in co-tutelle between the University of Mons and the University of Namur (Belgium). Her doctoral research was on the impact of climate change, changes in landscape structure and land use changes on bumblebee (Bombus) populations in Belgium. Currently, SV supports the implementation of the national monitoring scheme of wild pollinators (MONIPOL) in Luxembourg. She has a strong interest in conservation biology, biodiversity monitoring, landscape ecology, and ethology. In FRAMEwork, she will manage most of the experimental activities of WP2 in the Luxembourg Farm Cluster, including the support to biodiversity monitoring.

Ecology and Data Analysis < Back Dr. Raja Imran Hussain Ecology and Data Analysis Dr. Hussain is well experienced in arthropods sampling, identification and is capable to handle statistical analysis for big ecological data sets. His recent studies have been in agroecology, landscape ecology (interactions between farmland and natural ecosystems), and Alpine grassland ecology. He is part of different research projects funded by Austrian Academy of Science (ÖAW: Healthy Alps, DivRESTORE), Austrian Science Fund (FWF: REGRASS 1), and Federal Ministry for Climate Protection, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation, and Technology (REGRASS 2). RIH is a member of the Ecological Society of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland (GfÖ). He has different peer-reviewed SCI-ranked research publications in international scientific journals.
