Meetings and Events

Meetings

The British Ecological Society organises an exciting and diverse range of scientific, ecology-orientated meetings. The Annual Meeting is the largest annual meeting of ecologists in Europe, attracting hundreds of delegates and over 450 abstracts across the whole range of ecological topics. Field-based Meetings organised by the Society's Specialist Groups bring together small numbers of ecologists to really get to grips with specific site issues. The Society funds a number of grants to help delegates attend its meetings, including a new grant to support ecologists in developing countries. 

If you want to be more involved with BES meetings, you can propose a meeting or a symposium, organise a Thematic Topic at the Annual Meeting or help judge student presentations. The BES spends significant funds each year on grants to attend its meetings and also on grants to run meetings.

To help ecologists plan their diaries we also collate information on a wide range of ecology-related meetings across the world.
