Dear colleagues

We are delighted to invite you to the Ecology & Conservation Biology Conference 2026, which will take place on 26 October 2026 at the Porter School of Environment, Tel Aviv University

The conference is part of Mind-IL, a broad initiative comprising dozens of academic meetings across Israel and aimed at strengthening connections among Israeli researchers and research institutions in Israel and abroad, encouraging new collaborations, and enhancing the international reach of Israeli academia. The conference is open to researchers, students, postdoctoral fellows, practitioners, and other members of the ecology and conservation community, both from Israel and abroad. It will cover a wide range of fields in ecology and conservation biology and provide opportunities to present research, exchange ideas, establish new collaborations, and reconnect with colleagues

One of the conference’s central goals is to strengthen the links between ecologists and conservation scientists working in Israel and Israeli researchers based abroad. We therefore warmly encourage you to register and to share this invitation with colleagues in your department, professional networks, and especially with Israeli researchers currently working overseas

Further information and registration are available on the conference website: https://www.mind-il.org/conference/6a30339da90316da446a78a9 

We look forward to seeing you in October

Best wishes
The Organizing Committee
Uri Roll, Amiyaal Ilany, Marcello Sternberg and Assaf Shwartz
