September 2017 “Draft Version” WELCOME Dear Colleagues and Friends, WELCOME to Lisbon! We are delighted to have so many top senior and young researchers, as well as many oth- er stakeholders in managing non-native plants, participating in EMAPI 2017. This confer- ence will focus on the latest research and technical developments regarding the ecology and management of plant invasions, and will hopefully assist us all in forming and reform- ing future strategies to mitigate this truly global environmental issue. There is currently a great interest in the control and eradication of non-native species in Portugal, an aim supported by the Portuguese research community as whole, including private land-users and governmental organizations. Hosting EMAPI in 2017 was thus a highly strategic project for our country. It is, therefore, an honor and privilege to host the 14th EMAPI Conference here. For this 14th edition, we particularly aim to synthesize the state-of-the-art of researching alien plant invasions, present novel and recurring challeng- es, and stimulate thought as to new or unexplored opportunities to tackle the manage- ment of non-native flora. Our great wish is that scientists, managers, and policy makers from around world will interact and explore ways to address the regional and global chal- lenges presented by alien plant invasions. The conference is organized with keynote lectures, oral communications, poster sessions, and symposia. But apart from the academic programme, there will also be awards, com- mercial exhibitions, and a social program which will include a dinner at an exclusive venue with traditional music from Lisboa. My best wishes to all participants during the week’s proceedings, but also for the com- ing years, working together in exchanging knowledge, nurturing friendships, establishing strong and efficient collaborations, and maintaining innovation in non-native plant ecology and management. Enjoy Lisbon and enjoy Portugal!

The main goals are: i) to carry out basic and applied research on the ecological and evolutionary patterns and processes occur- ring in terrestrial ecosystems, at both the continental and insular scales; ii) to study the drivers and impacts of environmental changes and design effective responses to those impacts; iii) to collaborate with universities in undergraduate and post-graduate training activities; iv) to contribute to technical and scientific exchange at the national and international levels; v) to promote the diffusion of scientific results through publications and by organizing seminars and scientific meetings at national and international settings; vi) to participate with its expertise in community services. CÂMARA MUNICIPAL DE ALMADA Almada is located in the Lisbon’s Metropolitan Area, in Portugal, in the southern bank of the Tagus estuary. Has a geographical area of 70 km2 and 174.000 inhabitants. The Municipality of Almada is well aware that to achieve prosperity, quality of life, economic and social development, is essential to value its environmental quality and land- scape, as vital elements to preserve natural resources, biodiversity and ecosystem services. The Department for Environment, Climate, Energy and Mobility of Almada Municipality is a multidisciplinary department in charge of environmental management and planning at the city level, dealing with energy and mobility issues. One of the priority areas of intervention has been the development of a Local Strategy for Climate Change, firstly aiming at reducing environmental impacts and carbon intensity of the city (mitigation), and secondly, increasing the resilience of its natural and building environments (adaptation). In this framework, Almada has been developing a Green/Blue infrastructure, based on ecosystem services and natural resources preservation, where the Organic Community Allotment Gardens Network are distrib- uted, integrate adaption in sectorial plans and in land use plans, develop ecological restoration projects in risk and degraded areas and Multi-adaptation projects that tackle different hazards and combine solutions for enhancing territorial resilience. CÂMARA MUNICIPAL DO BARREIRO The Municipality of Barreiro is the executive body of the municipality, directly elected by citizens registered in the respective area. It is respon- sible for promoting the development of the municipality through the planning, management and realization of investments in the different areas of its competence, such as urban planning and urban planning, education, social action, environment and basic sanitation, Sport, cul- ture and civil protection, among others. To this end, it defines and executes policies aimed at defending the interests and meeting the needs of the local population, promoting the quality of life of its citizens. As part of its strategy to conserve nature and biodiversity, in 2012 the Municipality created the Local Nature Reserve of Sapal do Rio Coina and Mata da Machada. One of the problems that affect the existing natural values are invasive species, namely acacias and weeping of the beach. The LIFE Biodiscoveries Project (LIFE13 BIO / PT / 000386) is now being developed, supported by the European Commission’s LIFE Pro- gram, which aims to control invasive species through public participation.
