The SMILES Action focuses on establishing a network of researchers and practitioners working on ecosystem services, land use change, natural capital assessment, nature-based solutions and governance within small and medium islands within Europe and its overseas territories. We look for early career investigators that are interested in joining this action, as well as people with expertise in marine ecosystem services and governance. Participants will be invited to contribute to collaborative research on island natural capital, ecosystem services, nature-based solutions and climate resilience, and benefit from the possibility of receiving travel funds dedicated to short term scientific missions.
