Conferences
Our annual conference provides an international platform for the exchange of current scientific ideas and helps promote the establishment of collaborations between members and attending guests.
TEO - Tropical Ecology Online
To our great regret, the current pandemic has led to the repeated cancellation of our annual meetings.With the new TEO lecture series, we would like to fill this gap as best we can until non-digital events will be possible again.TEO takes place on every second Monday of the current month and is primarily aimed at young scientists who should get the chance to present their current research work to an interested audience. The presentations will be accompanied by key-note lectures of renowned scientists from the field of tropical ecology and beyond. Please watch for our announcements on the website and through our social media outlets. Questions about the event series should be directed to teo(at)soctropecol.eu.

Carbon Neutral Conferences
The gtö-conferences are planned as Carbon Neutral Conferences. Carbon neutrality will be achieved by sequestrating the amount of CO2 which is released in the air mainly by energy consumption and mobility of the participants of the gtö-conference. With PRIMAKLIMA e.V. we have found a reliable partner to calculate the CO2-emissions caused by the conference. PRIMAKLIMA e.V. guarantees with a fulfillment factor of five to compensate the emissions from the conference by afforestation and forest conservation projects all over the world. Participants of the conference can take their personal share and contribute to mitigate global climate change by paying a voluntary CO2-fee of 15.00 €. We think this is a good investment.
