Outreach

Louise Vet is former-director of NIOO-KNAW (1999-2019) and emeritus professor in Evolutionary Ecology at Wageningen University. She is a biologist with a broad interest in ecology and evolution of multitrophic interactions. Her research involves chemical, behavioural and molecular ecology of plants and insects in a community context, delivering basic knowledge for the strategic development of sustainable agro-ecosystems that are primarily based on the prevention of pests and diseases (life-support function of biodiversity). She is an elected member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences.

Vet was awarded several international prizes for her research (e.g. British Rank Prize for Nutrition) and serves on a diversity of national and international boards and committees. In addition to her professional interest in high quality ecological scientific research she has a special interest in communicating the importance of ecology to the general public (lectures, columns, media). Her outreach focuses on achieving a positive interaction between ecology and economy. Practice what you preach: from 2009-2011 she was the driving force behind the new NIOO building, the most sustainable laboratory/office complex in the Netherlands (www.nioo.knaw.nl/en/building), based on Cradle to cradle/Circle Economy principles, for which she received the 2012 Golden Pyramid state prize for excellence in commissioning work in architecture. Linked to these outreach activities Vet stimulates public-private partnerships to encourage new eco-technological developments.

Presently, in addition to the many other boards and committees that she serves on, she is chairing a broad societal coalition of scientists, nature organisations, agro-food chain, farmers, retail, banks that is working towards a large national plan to bend the curve of biodiversity decline (Deltaplan Biodiversiteitsherstel). See samenvoorbiodiversiteit.nl

In December 2017 she was awarded the highest honour of the British Ecological Society. This Honorary Membership recognises exceptional contributions at international level to the generation, communication and promotion of ecological knowledge and solutions.

In 2018 she was elected number 1 in the Sustainable 100, the annual list of the Netherlands' "greenest thinkers and doers".

Upon her step-down as director of NIOO on October 31, 2019 she received the distinction of Knight in the Order of the Lion of the Netherlands, one of the highest royal decorations.

SOME HISTORY

I graduated in 1978 at Leiden University with majors in plant ecology, limnology/hydrobiology and animal ecology. A Fulbright-Hays competitive grant allowed me to conduct a year’s research at the Department of Entomology, University of California, Riverside, USA (1978-1979). From 1980 to 1984 I conducted my PhD at the Department of Animal Ecology of Leiden University. During the end of this period I was appointed at the Laboratory of Entomology, Wageningen University to work on information processing and behavioural plasticity in insects.

Important results were the recognition of the great importance of learning and memory in parasitoids and the major role of plants in guiding natural enemies to their insect victims. In 1996 I was awarded the Silverstein - Simeone Award of the International Society of Chemical Ecology (‘in recognition of outstanding research at the forefront of any field of chemical ecology’). In 1997 I became full professor at Wageningen University. In 1999 I conducted 6 months research at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver and in 2003 another 6 months at the University of Toronto. In 2004 I was elected Member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW). In 2006 I was awarded the British Rank Prize for Nutrition, together with Joop van Lenteren and Marcel Dicke (Lab. of Entomology, WUR) and in 2017 the Honorary Membership of the British Ecological Society.

My ‘life with NIOO-KNAW’ started at the end of 1997 when I became chair of the international Scientific Advisory Board of NIOO-KNAW. At November 1, 1999 I was appointed as Director of NIOO-KNAW (until 2011 a three-centre institute) while remaining Professor in Evolutionary Ecology at Wageningen University. In 2011 I moved two of NIOO’s centres to a new building in Wageningen (see below). Throughout my career I have always combined active research (published > 200 papers in international journals) with management, boards, committees and outreach. On November 1, 2019 after exactly 20 years of leading the institute, I stepped down as director of NIOO-KNAW. My research, boards and committees and outreach will continue...

PUBLIC OUTREACH: ECOLOGY MEETS ECONOMY

View my TED-lectures (2009 and 2011) online: TEDxAMS 2009 Towards a circular economy: let's be positive! and TEDxAMS 2011 Poop is Gold!

Apart from my professional interest in high quality ecological scientific research, I promote ecological awareness to achieve a good marriage between ecology and economy. I am an optimist and believe in the power of positive action and advocay. Pointing to positive achievements is crucial to get things done in the future. It will stimulate positive awareness, additional action, creative solutions and multiple approaches, e.g. partnerships as a tool to conserve and restore biodiversity. It will arouse political involvement and stimulate technical solutions where possible. It facilitates the achievement of consumer-driven demands that are very powerful to persuade or force industries to take their responsibilities.

I strongly advocate the transition towards a sustainble society. This involves the necessary move from a linear to a circular economy where the concept of waste is eliminated, where solar energy is used and local diversity in solutions, products and processes is respected and where biodiversity recovery is included. I have good connections to local governments, politicians and industry.

Practice what you preach: I initated the building of the highly sustainable NIOO laboratory/office complex and the eco-technological innovations like closing water- and nutrient cycles (see www.nioo.knaw.nl/en/building). Since 2017 I chair a large societal coalition on biodiversity recovery in the Netherlands (see samenvoorbiodiversiteit.nl)

Universiteit van Nederland, May 2015


Hoe kan ons ecosysteem geld opleveren?	Hoeveel is onze poep eigenlijk waard?	Hoe kan het dat ons drinkwater opraakt?	Hoe levert onderzoek naar modder nieuwe medicijnen op?	Hoe zorgen zombie-rupsen voor een beter milieu?

A Poem

a non-issue to most

or a mild concern

to us the mere facts - a foot that prints

a climate that returns our indifferent interference

with sturdy storms and warmer tears

a mission felt so strong and strange

to dim the lightness of our existence

urging the crowd to lessen and listen to mother earth

no longer crying wolf

but crying for help

and with her the forests and the emptying seas

is it a dream

sustainable growth and living from the sun

and not the fossil earth

economy embracing ecology

that all creatures small and beautiful will rejoice

where climate changes at rates of thousands

not generations

one planet for all - to stay

to share and perpetuate life

as it should be

let there be light soon

the right light

at the end of the tunnel
