The workshop submission deadline has ended on the 15th of September.
The conference will have space for multiple relevant workshops of 1 or 2 hours each.
Participants can share their skills or showcase new methods related to wolf research, monitoring or management. 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.
This is an unique opportunity to contribute to the global understanding of wolf biology, behavior, ecology, and conservation efforts. By presenting at the Wolves Across Borders Conference, you will not only showcase your research and work but also engage with fellow experts and practicioners, fostering collaboration and inspiring future initiatives.
