Conference on Invasion Biology and One Biosecurity

On behalf of the HUN-REN Ecological Research Centre and the Division of Invasion Biology of the National Laboratory for Health Security, we would like to welcome you to the Conference on Invasion Biology and One Biosecurity

Date: 26-28 February 2025

Venue: Sarlóspuszta

Registration: until 6 November 2024
Registration is closed.

The massive and continuous introduction of invasive non-native species is threatening our health, our crops, our livestock and our natural environment in unprecedented ways.

We cannot prevent the appearance of invasive non-native species, but we can slow the invasion and mitigate its impact. This is necessary because it gives nature and society time to adapt.

Managing invasions is a complex social learning process in which natural and social scientists, policy makers, farmers and all citizens have an important role to play.

The One Biosecurity concept provides a suitable framework for understanding invasion and actions, according to which the health of nature, humans and their livestock cannot be separated. The conference aims to provide an opportunity to share theoretical and practical knowledge on invasive species between researchers, practitioners and policy makers.
