Closing event: Natuur-inbouw
Smart solutions for wildlife in climate-resilient buildings
Avenue du Roi Albert II, 1210 Brussels
- 04 June 2026 / 09:30 - 17:00
In this Interreg project, 21 partners from Flanders and the Netherlands are working to make nature-inclusive measures for building-dependent species practical to implement.
During this collaborative closing event, we will share the key insights, construction details and policy lessons from the past three years, applicable to design, policy and implementation.
Who is it for?
The event is aimed at professionals: contractors, architects, property developers, policymakers and ecologists who are involved in, or wish to become involved in, wildlife-friendly construction. If you’re not a professional but are interested in nature-friendly construction or renovation, you’re more than welcome to join us too!
