Other meetings

Wageningen University & Research is delighted to invite you to the fourth edition of the Wageningen Soil Conference. As in previous editions, the aim is to discuss the importance of soils. In the 2019 edition, the focus will be on “Understanding soil functions: from ped to planet”. To do this a new style of conference will be adopted, with traditional conference talks in the mornings, followed by a range of scientific and interactive topic masterclasses in the afternoons.

Meeting the agricultural production for a growing world population in a sustainable way poses us for several challenges. Ecological intensification has been proposed to make better use of the natural ecosystem services, while maintaining agricultural production on a high level and counteracting the negative effects of conventional agriculture on biodiversity in agricultural landscapes. In this symposium, international speakers will shed light on some of the aspects on the shift towards ecological intensification.

The 49th Annual Meeting is held under the motto "Science meets practice" and aims to stimulate exchange between the academic ecological community and practitioners in order to find applied solutions to environmental problems. The Local Organising Committee covers a wide range of ecological topics, from classical organismic ecology, nature conservation issues and functional biodiversity research to air quality problems and research on biogeochemical processes in aquatic and terrestrial systems.

The ambition of this meeting is to discuss, compare and promote researches able to cope with the societal changes from the specific perspective of the Sedimentology and Sedimentary Geology. We hope to involve in the meeting also scientific communities that, although not directly focused on sedimentology, use reconstruction of sedimentary processes and of stratigraphic record as main investigation tools, such as marine geology, volcanology, extraterrestrial geology, archaeology.

The Ecosystem Services Partnership (ESP) will celebrate the 10th world conference anniversary in Germany: 10 years advancing ecosystem services science, policy and practice for a sustainable future. The ESP10 conference locations are the Leibniz University for the opening day on Monday, and the Hannover Congress Centre for the rest of the conference.

This conference is addressing the question: how do we proceed from here. How do we stop biodiversity loss? How can we speed up our research? How can we predict how climate change will affect global biodiversity? What new science do we need? What new techniques? What new policies?

This conference organised by Taizhou University, will bring together world-leading experts on current and emergent topics in global change ecology of plants. All scientists and students working on any aspect of global change ecology are very welcome.

This symposium is a must for everyone who wants to gain more ecological knowledge useful in the assessment of soil eco(toxico) logical effects of chemical and non-chemical stressors, as well as to learn which ecological databases are available as reference for (large-scale) ecological assessments of effects, and to understand which novel experimental and modelling tools are currently available for an effective environmental risk assessment.

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!!

Dutch Butterfly Conservation (De Vlinderstichting) will host its 5th international symposium on Future of Butterflies in Europe – and this includes moths, of course. We invite you to join us in Wageningen, the Netherlands
