London is a major centre for Ecology and Evolution, with a large number of research groups across dozens of institutions. Nevertheless, the size of the city and number of separate locations hampers interaction. The Centre for Ecology and Evolution (CEE) was born to address this issue. This 30-years old network aims to foster collaborations between researchers in and around the London area, and is remains highly relevant today.
The CEE is run by a cross-institutional steering committee including: University College London, the Institute of Zoology (Zoological Society of London), Natural History Museum, Imperial College, Queen Mary, Royal Holloway, Royal Veterinary College, Linnean Society, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and King's College London.
