Future collaboration possibilities were also discussed and decided to apply for support from the Nordic Council of Ministers to organise an eye to eye meeting at least once a year and for different activities related with favouring wild pollinators.
For now, the Nordic Council of Ministers has approved two one-year long applications for years 2020 and 2021. The focus of the network is on wild pollinators, especially bumblebees, and the promotion of their habitats – especially within agriculture.
