Abstract
ABSTRACT DesertNet (http://www.european-desertnet.eu/) is an interdisciplinary scientific network which was established in October 2006 at the UN premises in Bonn, Germany, by a group of international scientists. The network strives to generate and enhance scientific knowledge and understanding of the biophysical and socio-economic processes of desertification. This international scientific network provides an international platform for scientifically based discussions and exchange of ideas, addressing knowledge gaps, and identifying research areas. DesertNet is also a think tank community which identifies issues and priorities for the sustainable development of drylands. The paper outlines the current role of DesertNet in the international scientific community and it delineates its role to strengthen the Science/Policy Interface.
