2. Delay ESP membership registration


If you registered as a new ESP member, it is possible that you have not yet received an invoice to complete your registration due to 'moving house' and some personnel changes. The ESP secretariat is working on completing your registration as soon as possible. We apologize for the inconvenience. 

3. ESP related journals


Many session-organisers and presenters at ESP8 are working on Special Issues or other forms of publications. ESP has close links with several Journals and recently the new impact factors of all journals have been released. We are very pleased that the impact factors of both Ecosystem Services and International Journal of Biodiversity Science, Ecosystem Services & Management are rising strongly. Both Journals have applied for ISI-rating and it is expected that that will be awarded next year. Both Journals offer discounts to subscriptions and/or Open Access fees to ESP members.

4. Other news
