Development plan IBED-AEE 2009-2015

The department of Aquatic Ecology and Ecotoxicology (AEE) is in the process of building strategic research liaisons and taking on significant numbers of externally funded PhD students. These developments invite reflection on the past, presence and future of the department. Therefore an overview of the key data for the period 1998 until now has been assembled and the developments in the upcoming seven years are outlined. A number of essential actions are identified.
