Nature&Society´s headquarter is situated in Freiburg (Germany), at the edge of the Black Forest- one of the most beautiful natural landscapes in central Europe. This very central location allowed Nature&Society developing a network of contacts which include universities, research institutes, governmental and non-governmental institutions and stakeholder organizations all over Europe. These connections are amongst the main assets of the company, and reach deep into the European, national, regional and local meshes of European governance. Such an international approach is facilitated by the proficiency in and familiarity with several languages.
