Submit abstracts for the 22nd EBCC conference
September 24, 2021
The Bird Numbers 2022 “Beyond the Atlas: challenges and opportunities” conference, organised by the Swiss Ornithological Institute in Sempach, will be held from 4th to 8th April 2022 in Lucerne, Switzerland.
The closing date for submitting abstracts for oral presentations is 30th September (and 31st December for posters). You can find the details on how to submit abstracts online. Despite the uncertainties regarding the Covid-19 pandemic, we encourage participants to register. If it turns out that a conference with physical attendance is not possible, the Local Organising Committee will look for alternatives together with the EBCC board. You also may follow the EBCC conference on Twitter.
EBCC conferences are held every three years, bringing together people involved in bird monitoring, research and conservation across Europe and beyond. One year after the publication of the European Breeding Bird Atlas 2 book and following the online version of the maps planned for the end of 2021, there will be a strong focus on topics following up on EBBA2, be it the use for conservation, research, national atlases and monitoring programmes. We also welcome contributions in any issues related to EBCC work, including specific monitoring programmes, studies of causes of population change, demography or distribution in European birds, studies of the effectiveness of conservation action and the impact of government policies, new technologies, methods or analytical techniques, the use of birds as indicators, and the development of citizen science projects.
