AEET, Sfe2 & EEF Joint Meeting 2027 program

Approximately 1200 delegates are expected to attend, including researchers, teachers, natural heritage technicians and managers, and ecology students from all corners of Europe and many other places where our researchers have influence. 

The conference will feature a panel of key scientific sessions covering many of the topics that are currently relevant in the field of ecology. At least eight plenary lectures will be given by speakers of recognised prestige and international impact. The thematic sessions will complement the scientific programme of our meeting, providing a forum for the exploration of specific, timely, innovative and important issues in the field of ecology, and highlighting the integration of disciplines. Poster sessions will play a prominent role, allowing for informal but in-depth conversations and providing a valuable platform for sharing works, fostering collaboration, and connecting with a wider audience in a dynamic and enjoyable setting.  

Technical field trips will be featured providing opportunities to showcase knowledge and applied technologies on ecological systems in real-world settings. Other complementary training activities for researchers will be scheduled: seminars and workshops on basic science, methodologies, creativity and communication skills, open science, applying for competitive calls, etc. A student mentoring programme will be offered, as well as other activities aimed at early career researchers. 

Furthermore, in order to promote interaction and collaboration among individuals and research groups participating in the conference, the organizers have designed some events to encourage networking and socialising among conference attendees.
