This document summarizes the outputs and highlight key messages from the workshop "From Data to Trends: Workshop on indicators and metrics for tracking biological invasions", held on 17-19 March 2026 in Brussels, Belgium.

This workshop, organised under the B-Cubed (https://b-cubed.eu/) project, aimed to address these challenges in the context of biological invasions through a technical exchange among experts working on invasive alien species and indicators of biological invasions. The event brought together representatives from national agencies of Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, South Africa, and the United Kingdom, research institutions, international organisations (IUCN), and the European Commission, to share experiences and identify common approaches in applying IAS indicators and their reporting.
