First of its kind, the World Bio­di­ver­si­ty Fo­rum will bring to­ge­ther lea­ding re­se­ar­chers, ear­ly ca­re­er re­se­ar­chers, prac­ti­tio­ners, re­pre­sen­ta­ti­ves from dif­fe­rent sec­tors, de­ci­si­on-ma­kers and so­cietal ac­tors to ha­ve a con­ver­sa­ti­on on the kind of fu­ture we want (and/or do not want) for bio­di­ver­si­ty.

The World Bio­di­ver­si­ty Fo­rum is con­cei­ved as a plat­form for ex­ch­an­ge, co­ver­ing a wi­de ran­ge of per­spec­tives, and cap­tu­ring a di­ver­si­ty of vi­si­ons.

We are plea­sed to an­noun­ce 30 the­ma­tic ses­si­ons that set the sce­ne for in­no­va­ti­ve and ti­me­ly questi­ons, and bring to­ge­ther re­se­ar­chers and prac­ti­tio­ners from a va­rie­ty of di­sci­pli­nes.

Work­shops of­fer the op­por­tu­ni­ty to dis­cuss cur­rent to­pics in mo­re de­tail and for in-depth in­ter­ac­tions with other Fo­rum par­ti­ci­pants. Lunchti­me events and de­ba­tes com­ple­te the pro­gram­me.
