Pedro is a senior researcher at the Chair of AI and Land Use Change at Technische Universität Berlin. His research investigates the impacts of climate change and hydroclimatic extremes on ecosystems and communities, with a focus on monitoring, adaptation, and mitigation strategies.

Emilia is an Assistant Professor at Aalborg University and part of the Danish Centre for Environmental Assessment focusing on sustainability and green transition. Her research focuses on biodiversity integration, environmental assessment, and the role of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in supporting sustainable transitions and decision-making processes.

Luis is an Assistant Professor at Utrecht University, where he is the Principal Investigator of BIOGAIN. As an energy system modeller, he leads a multidisciplinary team of researchers working on the integration of renewable energies and their impacts on society and the environment.

Anna is an Assistant Professor at Utrecht University with over ten years of experience researching the drivers and environmental impacts of land-use change, including spatially explicit biodiversity impact assessments. Her research interests include climate change mitigation and adaptation, bioenergy, large-scale reforestation, and other nature-based solutions.

Laura holds a Master's degree in Natural Sciences and is currently a research trainee at BOKU University in Vienna. Her interests include biodiversity conservation, soundscape ecology, environmental assessment, human-nature interactions, and sustainable planning.

Gesa is a Professor and Head of the Environmental Assessments Department at Technische Universität Berlin. Her research and teaching examine the socio-environmental implications of energy transitions, with a particular focus on the role of environmental assessment and planning in shaping these processes.

Bart is a Postdoctoral Researcher at Utrecht University's Copernicus Institute of Sustainable Development. An earth scientist turned ecologist, he combines remote sensing, machine learning, and citizen-science data to study how environmental change and human activity shape biodiversity, with a long-running focus on migratory birds and nature-inclusive energy infrastructure.

Marc is an animal geneticist working as a university assistant at the Institute of Wildlife Biology and Game Management at BOKU University. Marc is currently trying to investigate the population health and management strategies of endangered wildlife species through the use of genetics and connectivity monitoring. The research involves population dynamics, behavioural ecology, and population genetics.

Alexandra is Associate Professor at BOKU University in the field of spatial planning with Focus and venia in the field of environmental planning. She has extensive experience in the field of Environmental Assessment both in research and teaching as well as in practical applications. Over the past five years recent research covered climate change, biodiversty and the methodological challenges and opportunities related to advanced digitalisation and AI.

Fabian is a wildlife biologist working as an university assistant at the Institute of Wildlife Biology and Game Management at BOKU University. He investigates the management of wildlife species and land use conflicts involving wildlife. His research involves different modelling approaches including habitat and connectivity modeling, modeling of conflict potential and Bayesian decision networks.

Lone is a Professor at Aalborg University, where she leads the Danish Center for Environmental Assessment. Her research focuses on sustainability, environmental assessment, and green transition processes and how sustainability can be integrated into decision-making. She is particularly concerned with creating strong links between research and practice.

Raffael is a researcher at BOKU University and spatial planner at the Austrian Institute for Spatial Planning. His research focuses on concurring land-use demands and strategic spatial planning for renewable energy development.

Sanne is an Associate Professor at Aalborg University and part of the Danish Centre for Environmental Assessment. Her research focuses on environmental assessment, spatial planning and sustainable resource management. She emphasises engagement processes and decision-making under uncertainty.

Brady applies population models along with developing and testing decision support systems through collaborative decision analysis and Bayesian decision networks to tackle complex conservation issues involving wildlife species. He works as an Associate Professor at BOKU University in Vienna and is applying these methods in multi-scale contexts involving migratory birds and large mammals in diverse terrestrial systems of Europe and North America.

Boris is a landscape researcher at BOKU University and TU Vienna with expertise in socio-techno-ecological transformation research, spatial energy planning, and the integration of social preferences into renewable energy siting optimization. Within BIOGAIN, he contributes to the design and analysis of stakeholder-oriented planning and decision-support approaches that connect biodiversity-positive planning with climate-neutral energy transitions.

Eva is a wildlife biologist working at BOKU University, Institute of Wildlife Biology and Game Management. As a Senior Scientist, Eva studies effects of changes in land cover, land use and climate on wildlife distribution, with a particular focus on birds.

Jendrik is a university assistant at BOKU University, Institute of Wildlife Biology and Game Management. He develops, tests and evaluates modeling approaches to investigate ecological questions and to inform sustainable management and conservation of wildlife. His research focuses on the population dynamics and behavioral ecology of a variety of species, including birds and mammals.
