Dear Carabidologists, colleagues and friends,
The 22nd European Carabidologists Meeting is moving north to the vibrant city of Tartu, Estonia. The theme of this year’s meeting is “Connecting Scales: Carabid Responses from Genes to Landscapes,” covering a wide range of topics. The three-day meeting will take place at the Estonian University of Life Sciences, where we will share knowledge and diverse perspectives on carabids, from the gene level to the landscape scale.
The meeting will include scientific talks and poster sessions, as well as lively discussions over coffee. A special dinner and a field trip are planned, giving participants the chance to enjoy both the nature around the Tartu area and the local cuisine.
Registration and the call for abstracts for the 22nd ECM will be open until the beginning of May 2026.
We look forward to welcoming you to Tartu!
