The Nordic Society Oikos’ mission is “to support scientific research in ecology and related disciplines and to stimulate and enhance communication between stakeholders in ecological research in the Nordic countries and beyond.” Every second year, one of the national member societies organises a conference to bring together researchers working on ecology and evolutionary biology. The Icelandic Ecological Society is very proud to be the host of the next Oikos conference.

The theme of the Nordic Oikos conference in 2020 is “Ecology in the Anthropocene”, with a main focus on human impacts on ecology and evolution and the importance of new research approaches in ecology, ecological education and other forms of outreach to societies.

A pre-conference thematic symposium, the Per Brinck symposium, will be organized by the journal Oikos on Monday 2nd March. More details later.
