Wageningen Biodiversity Challenge
The Wageningen Biodiversity Challenge is an event for anyone who enjoys discovering and studying nature in their own environment. It consists of a 'Bioblitz' - a friendly competition to find as many different wild species as possible in a short time within WUR grounds - and an activity programme with outdoor nature excursions. Register now for the 2024 edition!
The Biodiversity Challenge started in 2021 with a small group of enthousiasts who counted species on Wageningen Campus. In 2022, this initiative was extended to all of WUR, lasting a week and ending with a biodiversity event for everyone. 2023 saw the start of the friendly competition between members of the ICA network of European Life Sciences universities over the course of six weeks. And this year, we're even including the entire city of Wageningen!
The 2024 Challenge will take place from 2 May to 28 June at Wageningen University & Research (all locations) and from 22 May to 22 June in Wageningen. Check out the programme and register for the activities:
Biodiversity Challenge - Wageningen city
Wageningen is a green city. Have you ever stopped to think how many plants, insects, birds, aquatic and soil animals can be found around you? We invite you to come and discover them together with experts during excursions and other fun activities.
Biodiversity Challenge - Wageningen University & Research
Will you join us outdoors to see, feel and taste nature on the Wageningen Campus? Once again this year, we will venture outside to admire the extraordinary biodiversity around us. Register for one of our guided excursions, or grab your phone and go discover species with colleagues, friends or just by yourself.
