On behalf of BioAgora, the University of Bucharest, the Research Centre in Systems Ecology and Sustainability (RCES), the Leibniz-Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries (IGB) and the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research (NINA) are pleased to invite expressions of interest for participation in a two-day Science-Policy Interface Dialogue workshop, to be held at the Botanical Garden in Bucharest, Romania. Taking place on 2 and 3 June 2026, the event will bring together representatives from EU institutions, national authorities and research organisations as well as practitioners, with a particular focus on Southeast European Member States. The workshop is the second in this format and will facilitate a joint reflection on the implementation of the Nature Restoration Regulation (NRR).

Its main objective is to identify NRR-related: 

• implementation gaps
• administrative burdens
• practical needs
• opportunities for exchange, coordination and mutual learning
