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.
To accommodate the time zone differences, the conference will take place at different times each day as follows:
- Tuesday 31st August: 8am – 11am BST (GMT +1)
- Wednesday 1st September: 5pm – 8pm BST
