HISTORY
MEDECOS meetings provide a global stage for researchers who study Mediterranean-type ecosystems, whether their interests lie in the conservation, restoration or management of species, populations or ecosystems. The meetings, hosted every 3-4 years, play a critical role in showcasing research advances, promoting discussion and facilitating collaborative research. Given that Mediterranean-type ecosystems are amongst the most threatened in the world, these meetings are pivotal to increase our understanding and protection of these unique ecosystem
While large international meetings commonly host a series of concurrent sessions and formal presentations that can at times be overwhelming, MEDECOS meetings are moderate in size and provide ample opportunities for discussion and networking. The environment is also conducive for participation of our future researchers - young scientists and students who will continue Mediterranean-type ecosystem research. The organizing committee for MEDECOS hopes to encourage greater participation from our young scientists and students through the presentation of student awards.
