The Organising Committee of the 11th International Conference on Urban Pests (ICUP) has extended the deadline date to October 30, 2024 for submission of abstracts.
The 11th ICUP conference will take place from June 29 to July 2, 2025 at AF-Borgen, the Academic Society (Akademiska Föreningen) building in Lund, southern Sweden.
All those keen to present a paper or poster at this event now have until October 30 to submit an abstract of their proposed presentation via the abstract portal on the ICUP 2025 website, which is located HERE.
Abstracts are sought of work that makes a significant contribution to urban pest science. The abstract is not for publication, but simply for initial consideration by the ICUP committee.
Potential presenters will be informed by November 15, of the acceptance of their abstract, or a suggestion to move an oral presentation to a poster (or the reverse), or rejection of the proposed abstract.
For accepted talks, final manuscripts will be required by the end of January 2025.
The Organising Committee aims to highlight urban areas as environments where biodiversity is perceived as both an opportunity and a threat. In these areas, citizens are in close contact with other species, so quickly develop technologies that shape the relationship between humans and these other species.
To reflect this, ICUP 2025 will have a general theme of ‘Smart and Sustainable Management of Urban Animals.’
