This September, the 12th NEOBIOTA conference is coming to Tartu, Estonia
From 13th to 16th September 2022, the NEOBIOTA conference will be the place to be for researchers in invasion ecology. This year, the theme of the event will be “Biological Invasions in a Changing World”.
As a sponsor of the conference, the NeoBiota journal publisher: Pensoft will award the Best Talk at the conference with a free publication in the journal.
