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. Given the most recent advice from the Dutch Government on coronavirus, they have made the decision to move forwards with the Symposium as an online event.

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.

Given the rapidly escalating situation regarding COVID-19 and the state of Wisconsin’s moratorium on gatherings of 10 or more people, our societies have made the difficult decision to cancel the ASLO-SFS Meeting scheduled for June. We deeply regret having to cancel the meeting but look forward to bringing our members together again in 2022 at the Joint Aquatic Sciences Meeting.

We invite shallow lake ecologists to join the 10th International Shallow Lakes Conference in Natal city, Northeast of Brazil, to present their recent work on shallow lake ecology and discuss current challenges and opportunities toward a landscape ecology of shallow lakes.

The 57th Annual Meeting of the Association for Tropical Biology and Conservation (ATBC) will be held in Cartagena, Colombia. The theme is “Conserving Tropical Biodiversity and Achieving Socio-ecological Resilience in the Anthropocene: Opportunities and Challenges”.

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”.

SIP welcomes you warmly to the 17th Symposium on Insect-Plant relationships in Leiden. The latest developments in research on the relationships between plants, insects and associated microorganisms, from physiological mechanisms to ecological and evolutionary processes will be addressed.

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).

We are pleased to announce the 50th Annual Meeting of the Ecological Society of Germany, Austria and Switzerland, which will be held September 14-18, 2020 at the Technische Universität Braunschweig and the Thünen-Institut of Biodiversity, Braunschweig in Germany.

The International Bio geography Society will be holding a special Early Career Conference in Amsterdam from October 2-4, 2020.

The Fresh Blood for FreshWater is a conference organized by early-career freshwater scientists, representing not just new incomers to the field, but also those who still (or forever) feel themselves ‘fresh blood’. In this regard, the conference aims to provide a friendly atmosphere to present our work and to break boundaries exchanging ideas with other young researchers.
