Welcome

This conference target young scientists involved in conservation science (such as biology, remote sensing, social sciences, etc...) and offers young conservation scientists the opportunity to present their work.
 
This will also be an opportunity to increase exchanges around the Mediterranean basin, by favouring access of young scientists from the south of the Mediterranean and by grouping the scientific and organisational committees from the two largest centres for Mediterranean ecology in France, IMEP in Aix-Marseille and CEFE/CNRS in Montpellier.
 

The conference will stimulate informal exchanges between young scientists with invited lecturers at the Tour du Valat estate, with its important biological value.  There will be three sessions per day : two plenary sessions animated by invited conservation scientists who are specialists in the field, and 1 session poster. Field visit all around the Camargue wil be organized the last day (Saturday 10th).


This conference aims at scientific excellence by inviting high ranking lecturers, directed by Jacques Blondel as president of the scientific council, and by selecting high quality presentations:
