The 8th European Conference on Ecological Modelling to be held in October 2014 will host keynote talks on the aspects, methodologies and applications of the ecological modelling field. Over 200 contributors will investigate the capacity to assess, model and predict ecological responses to multiple forcing, including human activity and climatic changes, and will work towards integrating African science into this area.
This event aims to bring together the ecological modelling expertise from a range of backgrounds as well as promote the participation of scientists and students from Africa in the ecological modelling community. It will launch the birth of an African chapter of the society.
