The Quantitative Ecology Group aims to highlight cutting edge quantitative methods and approaches, as well as train the next generation of quantitative ecologists. As such we are a highly inclusive group, and the conference aims to foster collaboration across career stages, sub-disciplines and geographic regions.

Programme

This year’s meeting will take place across three days, with themes of

  • Integrating models and data in ecology
  • Bringing together mathematicians and quantitative ecologists
  • Interdisciplinary Quantitative Ecology.
