Research and monitoring for and with raptors
in Europe
INAUGURAL WORKSHOP
Riserva Naturale Orientata dello Zingaro, Scopello, Sicily,
ITALY
Thursday 7th to Saturday 9th October 2010

Dear all,

This attached announcement provides information on the inaugural workshop of the European Science
Foundation (ESF) Research Networking Programme, ‘Research and Monitoring for and with
Raptors in Europe’ (EURAPMON). The workshop will be held in Sicily from Thursday 7th to
Saturday 9th October 2010. The workshop programme is organised by the EURAPMON Chair
(G Duke), Steering Committee and Coordinator (P Movalli).

The workshop will advance key work-packages of the EURAPMON programme. It will address
scientific considerations and approaches to: inventory of existing raptor monitoring activities in
Europe; assessment of user needs (e.g. policy makers, regulatory authorities, conservation
practitioners); spreading best practice; capacity-building; development of a European database,
and related reporting and analysis issues.

The workshop will bring together leading ecotoxicologists, ornithologists, ecologists and
conservation professionals working at the forefront of raptor research and monitoring in Europe,
including monitoring of species’ states and trends, monitoring of contaminant and other pressures
on raptors, and monitoring of the effectiveness of policy and management measures.

The wider aim of EURAPMON is to strengthen the contribution of research and
monitoring for and with raptors in Europe to delivery of biodiversity, environmental and
human health benefits, including maintenance and recovery of raptor populations and
their habitats, and reduced chemicals threats to ecosystem and human health.


With kind regards,

Bernd Meyburg
