Thematic sessions' proposals

We warmly invite the NeoBiota community to propose topical sessions. Sessions that unite diverse perspectives and inspire dialogue on advancing the science and practice of invasion biology are especially encouraged. Share your ideas and play a key role in shaping a dynamic and impactful program for NeoBiota 2026!

We have room for sessions of different lengths, ranging from shorter formats of about 45 minutes with three talks to longer sessions of about 90 minutes with around six talks. Standard talks are 15 minutes (12 minutes presentation plus 3 minutes for questions). 

Proponents of selected sessions are invited to identify a keynote speaker for their topic, review submitted abstracts, and chair the session during the conference.

Evaluation of symposium proposals will be based primarily on originality, scientific and practical interest, and relevance to contemporary invasion science and management.
