The Centre for Wetland Ecology: a scientific network

Dutch and Flemish aquatic and wetland researchers form the Centre for Wetland Ecology (CWE).

 

Mission

Mission

Since 2000 the CWE has been providing a network and scientific platform for research on ecology, biogeochemistry, microbiology and hydrology of wetlands and water bodies. Novel research is shared and discussed in two yearly symposia and two newsletters provide the latest updates on wetland or aquatic projects and events. The CWE can also act as a partner in initiatives from the applied water sector to tackle water-related questions by representing the science community.
