Welcome

Lately we made some updates to the ESP website, mainly to make it more user friendly. We hope you like it!

Below we’ll guide you through the changes:

• It is now possible for members to add news, events, collaboration calls or vacancies by using the “Submit your news” form. You will find it in the right sidebar, once you have logged in with your username and password.
• You can use the Login box in the right sidebar to log in to your member profile.
• After logging in, you can access our updated member portal by clicking on “Go to ESP Community” in the right sidebar.
• The member portal has a brand new look and includes some new features, like a detailed member profile which you can already fill out.
• Next to the discussion groups and private messages, you can now use instant messaging to chat with other members in real time.
• The portal now aggregates a Stream of all the activity of people and groups that you follow.

We hope those updates will help you collaborate with your colleagues on the ecosystem services topic. If you find anything that doesn’t work, please inform the secretariat.

Tip: If you encounter a problem, please first try to refresh the page (ctrl + F5) or delete your browser history.

We are happy to welcome you to the new Ecosystem Services Partnership (ESP) website! Responding to feedback collected from the ESP community over the past years, we have worked hard to create an improved web environment which:

• is easy to search and navigate;
• offers a dynamic and user friendly community portal, where members can connect, exchange documents and work together;
• allows Working Groups and National Networks to showcase their work on the website.

You will be able to find all the key information which has always been available on the ESP page, along with the new ESP member Portal. The portal offers the opportunities to set up a personal profile, connect to fellow ESP-ers, join in discussions, share files, links or videos, work on joint documents, and more. Everyone can try out all the new features by using the free trial account option until 1 November.

We are still smoothing out some things – some links may still not work and many of the pages are under construction – so please bear with us for the next few days! If you notice a broken link or anything else that does not work, we will be happy to hear your feedback. See how you can contact us.
