About the Global Soil
Biodiversity Initiative
The GSBI was founded in 2011 by an international group of scientists with the overriding mission to promote
expert knowledge on soil biodiversity into environmental policy and sustainable land management to protect
and enhance ecosystem services. In order to facilitate this, they run a number of events one of which will be
hosted in Dublin in November 2021.

Objectives of Global Soil
Biodiversity Initiative (GSBI)
What are our goals?
The Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative is a grassroots scientific collaboration of nearly 4,000 members
from 126 countries, seeking to promote the best available scientific knowledge of soil biodiversity and
associated ecosystem functions to inform environmental policy at a global scale.

What do we do?
•   Empower research collaborations and networks globally
•   Leverage knowledge from different disciplines for real world impact
•   Amplify diverse voices in science and education to develop strategies for innovative and sustainable
    use of soils and their biodiversity
•   Foster an open and welcoming community of people poised to be tomorrow’s solution-innovators

We do this by:
•   Providing input to the Intergovernmental Science-policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem
    Services (IPBES) on soil biodiversity loss and impacts on ecosystem services
•   Establishing a central focus of connecting cross-biome research to the Global Soil Partnership for
    incorporating scientific knowledge on soil biodiversity and ecosystem services
•   Participating in global research collaborations, such as the Soil Biodiversity Observation Network
    (SoilBON)
•   Enabling knowledge-exchange between researchers and stakeholders to establish research and
    policy agendas
•   Developing scenarios on how soil biodiversity, and the services it provides, will respond to climate
    change
•   Identifying research and education gaps in disciplines interfacing with soil biodiversity science, such
    as human, animal, and plant health
•   Presenting evidence and case studies from international regions to policy-makers to develop
    solutions in which conservation and improvement of soil biodiversity is integral to human well-being.

Why Attend?
The Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative, launched in 2011, is a major stakeholder in the development
of soil biodiversity policy, and the accelerating scientific knowledge underpinning the vast
biological diversity contained in terrestrial soils worldwide. Among its various activities, the GSBI
launched the Global Soil Biodiversity Conference held in Dijon (France, 2014) and more recently
in Nanjing (China, 2017).

The 3rd Global Soil Biodiversity Conference to be held in Dublin (Ireland) in 2021 will expand on
previous GSBI conferences and convene the world’s leading experts in this interdisciplinary field
of soil biodiversity science to present and discuss recent advances addressing the urgency of
meeting global challenges which link to human, animal and plant health and a more sustainable
world. The conference will be the top meeting for all scientists, technologists, experimentalists
and modellers, students and practitioners working on any aspects of soil biodiversity science
and its linkages to the functioning of our global biosphere. The conference will provide the latest
updates on soil biodiversity research and knowledge for scientists, policy makers, regulators,
environmental agencies, conservationists, land user managers and other stakeholders in the
sustainable use and conservation of soil biodiversity.

Host Organisation
Both University College Dublin and Teagasc -
Agriculture and Food Development Authority have a
long and successful tradition of research on many
aspects of soils and soil biology. The physical nature
of soils, hydraulic conductivity, nutrient dynamics
(including nitrogen and phosphorous cycles and
carbon sequestration), plant productivity, the
management of animal manures and the role of soil
biodiversity in these are core to the activities of many
groups within both organisations. In addition, the
Local Organising Committee includes colleagues for
Queen’s University Belfast and AFBI-Agri-Food and
Biosciences Institute of Northern Ireland.

Exhibition Opportunities at GSB 2021
The Exhibition of GSB 2021 will be held in the Clayton Hotel, Dublin

This provides an excellent opportunity for delegates to interact with commercial companies and to familiarise themselves
with the latest advances within their field. Our delegates increasingly welcome the opportunity to tap into the expertise
provided by exhibitions to answer questions and provide product demonstrations. In addition to the commercial exhibition
the posters, tea and coffee breaks will take place in the exhibition area in order to maximise the amount of time delegates
spend within the exhibition

• Table top exhibition
