Seven themes

The seven NIOO-wide research themes are not just hot topics in ecology, but also ones in which we can make the difference with our broad scope.

More

Four departments

ANIMAL ECOLOGY The department of Animal Ecology studies how the life-history of birds is shaped by evolution: from personalities to seasonal timing, and from genes to populations.

More

Four departments

AQUATIC ECOLOGY The department of Aquatic Ecology studies life in inland waters. A complicated network that changes with climate, nutrients, toxic substances and biodiversity. But how exactly?

More

Four departments

MICROBIAL ECOLOGY Micro-organisms form a huge, largely undiscovered potential. A treasure-trove for researchers from the department of Microbial Ecology.

More

Four departments

TERRESTRIAL ECOLOGY Biological invasions, biodiversity loss or changing land use? The department of Terrestrial Ecology knows what that can do to plants and all other life forms below- and aboveground.

More

One unique building

NIOO’s award-winning, sustainable building is only one of many examples demonstrating the societal impact of ecology: the science of the 21st century.

Nature's future at NIOO

How does nature work and what is changing? Many people discovered that at NIOO, during our last Open day. What can we do for the nature of the 21st century?

Inspiration for nature's future

Climate Pursuit

A century of climate change, bringing ever higher temperatures. Life can be hard: what would you do to survive as a bird, plant or rodent? Try the new game Climate Pursuit to find out!

Living breathing building

NIOO works from a sustainable research building based on innovative eco-technology. From experimental green roof to 'golden' toilet, the message is: learn from nature!
