The Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO)
Its researchers study how living organisms interact with one another and their environment. They examine nature in the broadest sense of the word: from the DNA of bacteria to the biodiversity of ecosystems. Such knowledge helps society avert or solve problems related to nature and the environment and take informed decisions about how to keep Earth habitable.
