Dates

The conference runs from Monday June 2nd to Thursday June 5th. The main program starts around 1pm on the Monday. We will offer a post-conference excursion on Friday June 6th. 

 

Themes

For Wolves Across Borders 2025 four main themes have been determined and will be followed throughout the conference. The themes can be found in the blue boxes and reflect the current issues regarding human-wolf coexistence and wolf ecology and management. 

​

Structure

The conference program will feature plenary presentations, panel discussions and workshops. There will also be a series of parallel sessions. Participants can present their latest research, innovative projects, and fieldwork experiences related to wolves. We believe your expertise and insights would be a valuable addition to our program, and we would be honored to have you share your work with our audience. You can submit a presentation through our website until October 31st, 2024. â€‹
