Top SchoolTim Adriaens is a researcher and landscape ecologist based in Brussels with over a decade coordinating invasive alien species (IAS) research at the Institute for Nature and Forest Research (INBO). He serves as INBO’s focal point for IAS, blending field biology, entomology and landscape ecology to develop sustainable control and monitoring strategies for invasive amphibians, feral geese, aquatic invaders and problematic plants. His work spans hands-on eradication campaigns (e.g., ruddy duck), early-warning recording systems and evaluation of biological control agents, connecting scientific peers across Belgium and beyond. Trained in biology and education at Ghent University, Tim pairs rigorous academic grounding with practical, on-the-ground management experience and a wide professional network in invasion biology.
