We are delighted to welcome you to ERIDOB2026, the 15th conference of European Researchers in Didactics of Biology, in Ljubljana, Slovenia, August 24th-28th 2026. ERIDOB aims to bring together researchers in didactics of biology from around the world to share and discuss their research and the results of their work. The association was founded in 1986 by Pierre Clément and Horst Bayrhuber and has since organized a conference every two years. It is a great honor for us to hold the most important conference that we have in Europe on Biological Education. We will meet in the historical Roman city of Ljubljana in Slovenia. In 1991 Slovenia appeared on the global political map as an independent country. However, Slovenians laid foundations for statehood more than a thousand years ago. The country’s extraordinary geographical position played an important role in this process, and the diverse landscape has marked the country’s rich natural and cultural heritage, inspired the creativity of its inhabitants, and produced a number of exceptional individuals. We will be hosted by the University of Ljubljana Faculty of Education, which has more than 75 years of tradition. In the current period, which is marked by both a strong expectation from science to meet the challenges of our era and by the discrediting of scientific results, the theme of the ERIDOB 2026 Conference will be “Biology education paving the way for our common future“. We are confident that it will be an excellent opportunity to initiate in-depth discussions with other scholars in the field of biology didactics. We are looking forward to meeting you in Ljubljana! PS: In line with the decision that has been taken at the general assembly in 2022, the official language of the conference will be English. ... [Information of the supplier]

This promises to be a truly significant event, bringing together leading scientists from across the globe. In August 2027, we will have the incredible opportunity to engage in high-quality scientific discussions with colleagues from around the world. Beyond science, we will also share Brazil’s extraordinary natural and cultural heritage, renowned for its characteristic hospitality and warm welcome. It is no coincidence that the Organizing Committee for the 14th IMC selected Bonito as the host city. This remarkable location embodies all these attributes. Together, we will make the 14th IMC an unforgettable experience! ... [Information of the supplier]
It is with pleasure that we invite you to attend the 13th International Congress of Plant Pathology (ICPP) during 19-25 August 2028 on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia. It is predicted that the global population will reach 9.7 billion people by 2050, placing intense pressure on food supply chains. Half of the world’s population will reside in the tropics due to rapid population growth in this region, and tropical climes will have expanded poleward due to global warming. It is therefore apt that the ICPP in 2028 will be held for the very first time in a subtropical zone. We are planning a diverse and stimulating program of talks, workshops, technical tours, and social networking events. Think of any crop and it is likely to be grown in Australia – from apples to mangoes and wheat to sugarcane. There will be congress sessions that cater for every plant pathology interest. August is the perfect time to visit the Gold Coast, with average maximum daily temperatures at a comfortable 22 °C (72 °F) and the skies blue and sunny. There are a multitude of hotel and dining options within walking distance of the Convention Centre to suit every budget. Take a one-hour drive and immerse yourself in world heritage rainforest with some of the most ancient fauna and flora in the world. The Gold Coast in also a launching pad for the southern end of the Great Barrier Reef, just a short plane ride away. Australians are famous for organizing world class events. We look forward to extending our hospitality to you when you visit in 2028. Save the dates in your calendar! ... [Information of the supplier]
