14th European Conference on Ecological Restoration

The 14th European Conference on Ecological Restoration (SERE2024) takes place during the last week of August in Estonia.

Organised by the European Chapter of the Society for Ecological Restoration (SERE), the international conference is a place to share knowledge and discuss the future of European nature.

Ecological restoration is a topic that holds a prominent place on both political and scientific agendas. The decline in biodiversity demands our urgent attention, and degraded ecosystems around the world require an effective and knowledge-driven path to recovery. The EU is actively working on the Nature Restoration Law, and in 2024, new and ambitious goals and actions to reverse biodiversity decline in Europe will be agreed upon.

The SERE2024 conference will serve as a meeting point during this crucial time to develop the most effective approaches for the long-term recovery of nature. It offers an opportunity to foster the reciprocal exchange of ideas, knowledge, and experiences among researchers, practitioners, and policymakers from across Europe. The sessions will cover topics ranging from the theory and practice of restoring various ecosystems (wetlands, grasslands, forests, rivers, agroecosystems, urban and marine ecosystems) to the socioeconomic and political contexts of ecological restoration. Special focus will be put on discussions focused on the development of national restoration plans under the new EU law.
