Definition

  • The Netherlands Institute of Ecology (NIOO-KNAW) focuses on basic and strategic research into individual organisms, populations, ecological communities and ecosystems. The NIOO-KNAW employs more than 250 people at three research centers and its headquarters. Research at the Centre for Estuarine and Marine Ecology (CEME) in Yerseke concentrates on ecosystems in brackish and salt water, while the Centre for Limnology (CL) in Nieuwersluis focuses on freshwater ecology. The Centre for Terrestrial Ecology (CTE) in Heteren emphasizes land-based ecology. Originally, the three centers were founded in the fifties as independent institutes, but since 1992, they have joined forces to form the NIOO-KNAW. The NIOO-KNAW is the largest research institute of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW). With an annual budget of approximately 14 million euro, the core task is to carry out basic ecological research according to the highest international standards. The Centre for Estuarine and Marine Ecology (CEME) is situated in the village of Yerseke on the Oosterschelde estuary in the province of Zeeland. CEME conducts research in estuaries and coastal waters in Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Polar Regions. It also participates in several deep-sea projects. The centre originally started as the Delta Institute for Hydrobiological Research in 1957. CEME consists of three departments: Ecosystem Studies, Marine Microbiology and Spatial Ecology.
