Two symposiums will be held back-to-back in Uppsala, Sweden 11-15 Sept, 2017. The organisers hope to bring together researchers and students in trophic interactions and network ecology to allow the dissemination of the latest molecular techniques to network ecologists, and of network theory to molecular ecologists. To make this cross-fertilization possible, the week in Uppsala will bring together two previously separate events.

Since 2007 meetings on Molecular Analysis of Trophic Interactions (MTI) have gathered international researchers in Innsbruck, Austria and Lexington, USA. A parallel series of biannual meetings on Ecological Networks, started in 2013, have assembled ecologists first in Coimbra, Portugal, then in Bristol, UK. Now the two meetings will be arranged consecutively at SLU Uppsala, with a shared day midway that focuses on the use of molecular approaches to study ecological networks.

Thus, you are free to attend the first three days with a more network-oriented focus, or the last three days with a more molecular focus, or – ideally – all five days of exciting talks. Bookmark their website to keep in touch with future annoucements: http://www.slu.se/ecology-symposium
