Personal profile
Research expertise
Tim started in 2000 as a landscape ecologist at the Institute for Nature Conservation, working on ecological networks. He then initiated work on invasive species at the institute. He coordinates research on invasive species and is very active in international projects focused on sustainable control, the establishment of surveillance and early warning systems, citizen science, horizon scanning and risk assessment, impact research, and human dimensions research. His portfolio includes many international projects, such as LIFE, Interreg, and Horizon projects, as well as assignments for the European Commission and IUCN. Since 2024, Tim has been part of the INBO management team. He oversees the teams Species Diversity, Open Science Lab for Biodiversity, and Wildlife Management & Invasive Species.
