Swedish Biodiversity Symposium logo

The Swedish Biodiversity Symposium is a science-policy interface-orientated forum for communication, dissemination, and discussion of science-based knowledge on biodiversity. It provides an opportunity to gain new perspectives, learn from each other, and engage in networking and collaboration.

The symposium's main theme is Transformative change, from knowledge to action. This broad theme allows for deeper discussion from many perspectives: conservation, evolution, policy-making, species loss, ecosystem services/nature’s contribution to people, nature-based solutions, restoration measures, psychology, climate, land use, health, economic incentives, food security, pollution and more.

The Swedish Biodiversity Symposium welcomes national and international participants who work with biodiversity in any professional capacity (e.g. research, policymaking, nature management, education, outreach), including those active in academia, research institutions, government agencies, businesses and NGOs.

For financial support to attend this symposium, please contact the co-leads of the Research Theme (RT) you are a member of.
