Soil, a burst of life: the hidden world beneath our feet

More than one week

Soil is home to a quarter of the species on our planet. As they live hidden in the soil, these organisms are too often overlooked. Nonetheless, they support us in many ways, from food production and climate regulation to medicine discovery. Therefore, they deserve much more attention than they get.

Soil biodiversity is extremely variegated. It encompasses microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi, as well as “big” animals like earthworms and moles. In between there is a huge variety of organisms, ranging from nematodes, the most abundant animals on Earth, to the colorful springtails.

This course aims at raising awareness and increasing knowledge of the secret life beneath our feet, taking the public on a fascinating journey of discovery. It also allows you to familiarise with European Union initiatives for soil (biodiversity) protection.

Have you seen an alien?

More than one week

The European Alien Species Information Network (EASIN) Citizen Science activities aim at bringing together people, scientists and policy makers in an effort to monitor and control invasive alien species (IAS) that cause damage to native species, ecosystems and human’s health.IAS are non-native biological organisms (plants or animals) that are widely spread, including in urban environment. Timely reporting helps to prevent their further spread; thus, people’s contribution is really important. This course aims at raising awareness, increasing knowledge and involving the public in monitoring IAS in Europe, promoting people’s engagement in IAS management, and supporting the implementation of the EU Regulation 1143/2014 on IAS, which prioritizes the alien species to be controlled at EU level through the implementation of a set of measures. The online course will also target teachers who seek expert knowledge on biodiversity and want to give their students the opportunity to experience citizen science activities. The access to this course is free, open and accessible to all stakeholders and people interested in the topic.
