Neobiota 2026

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

The International Neobiota conference is an initiative from Neobiota, the European Group on Biological Invasions. It is part of a well-established biennial series that brings together researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and stakeholders from around the world to share cutting-edge scientific research on biological invasions.  This year, the conference features a rich programme including Thematic and General Sessions, keynote speakers, poster and oral presentations, and a field trip.  Neobiota 2026 also welcomes the final event of the LIFE RIPARIAS project, which focuses on transitioning from data to management of biological invasions.
