The Netherlands Annual Ecology Meeting (NAEM) is a two-day event organised by NERN and NecoV (Dutch - Flemish Ecological Society) and is supported by the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO). There will be 2 plenary sessions, 20 parallel sessions, and 2 poster sessions. You are cordially invited to register!!

Good quality science remains the foundation. To be truly successful in a science career, however, it helps if you can also communicate your research to funders and lay public. How do you convey your main message in a press release or on the worldwide web? Bring your own article, dissertation or report, submerge in the role of science communicator and create at least a intriguing header and first paragraph that will make your science into news. Transforming science into readable news is a profession. However, this workshop will offer a crash course into the do’s and don’ts.

The inaugural World Bio­di­ver­si­ty Fo­rum will bring to­geth­er lead­ing re­searchers, ear­ly ca­reer re­searchers, prac­ti­tion­ers, rep­re­sen­ta­tives from dif­fer­ent sec­tors, de­ci­sion-mak­ers and so­ci­etal ac­tors to have a con­ver­sa­tion on the kind of fu­ture we want (and/or do not want) for bio­di­ver­si­ty.

Join the February’s Wageningen Evolution & Ecology Seminar (WEES) on Thursday, February 27th in Orion C2035, 16.00h (seminar), with a workshop earlier that day in Orion C3040 (13.30h). There will be free drinks with the speaker after the seminar in The Spot.

The meeting will be an international, broad-scope, interdisciplinary event reflecting the ethos of both People and Nature and the Valuing Nature Programme. It will cover many aspects of the multiple values of nature. The meeting aims to foster cross-disciplinary research collaborations and inform the agenda in this growing and fast-moving research area.

The main objective of this symposium is to fill some critical knowledge gaps and promote discussion among policy makers, food producers, scientists, practitioners and other stakeholders on solutions to live in harmony with nature, and ultimately, achieve the SDGs through the conservation and sustainable use of soil biodiversity.

On Thursday 12 March, Ecologica is organizing for the 8th time the "Ecology and Practice" symposium. The symposium has become a household name in the green field and is visited annually by over 300 professionals.

With an ever-growing community of scientists and practitioners in the field of Lepidoptera conservation, we feel that this symposium will offer a perfect occasion to meet again and set new priorities in providing a future for butterflies and moths in Europe! We expect to cover a range of emerging topics to advance Lepidoptera conservation and we welcome your contribution! NOTE: the early bird deadline for registration is 17th January 2020!

The International Biogeography Society will be holding a special Early Career Conference in Amsterdam from 17 - 19 April 2020.

The conference has a range of symposia on different themes (Policy and Practice, Ecosystem services, Constructed wetlands, Wetland restoration and more), with a possible excursion to the Biesbosch National Park.

Life is a unique, inspiring, annual national congress covering all disciplines and scales in the Dutch Life Sciences, from femtometer to kilometer, from cell to planet. The theme for this second edition of Life is ‘Networks in Life’. Networking and interdisciplinary collaboration is essential for researchers in the Life Sciences.. Researchers at all scientific research institutes including the university medical centres in The Netherlands, in all career phases including master students are warmly invited to join and contribute to the programme

The 6th International Symposium on Knowledge and Capacity Development will bring together scholars, decision-makers and practitioners to discuss the current and future role of capacity development within policy, operational practice and education. For this 6th edition, the Symposium will pay particular attention to effective implementation and aim to move towards a concept of implementation science for the water sector.

The NIOZ Marine Master Summer Course is an introductory, multidisciplinary oceanography masters’ summer course which gives insight into state-of-the-art marine research in the Netherlands.

100 biology students from all over Europe, from bachelors to PhD candidates, and all fields of life sciences will attend the symposium to network and present their research. The topic of this edition will be “Beyond frontiers”.

The SIL Congress promotes open discussions on new scholarly findings and pioneer research in the field of limnology to foster knowledge transfer to scientists and researchers worldwide.

The United Nations have declared 2020 as the International Year of Plant Health (IYPH), a once in a lifetime opportunity to raise global awareness on how protecting plant health can help end hunger, reduce poverty, protect the environment, and boost economic development. To promote a global conversation about plant health and the future of sustainable agriculture as part of IYPH, CABI, Koppert Biological Systems and Wageningen University are organising a conference entitled Plant Health, Agriculture & Bioscience (PHAB 2020).
