Pensoft going to the German Ecological Society’s 53rd annual conference

Pensoft will participate in the 53rd annual conference of the German Ecological Society, which will take place September 9th to 13th, 2024, in Freising, Germany. The conference, themed “The future of sustainable land use across ecosystems, landscapes, and biomes,” will focus on innovative approaches to sustainable practices in agriculture, forestry, and urban planning, drawing on the latest research in ecology.

During the event, Pensoft will host a booth, where attendees can explore its collection of open-access ecological journals and learn about the ARPHA Platform, a cutting-edge solution for journal management and publishing.

On Wednesday, September 11th, from 12:45 to 13:45, Iva Boyadzhieva, Pensoft’s head of journal development, PR, and marketing, will lead an interactive lunch session titled “Open data publishing in biodiversity science and ecology.” The session will address the challenges and solutions faced by researchers in data publishing in the fields of ecology and biodiversity.

Pensoft will also showcase its contributions to several ecological projects. For instance, the organisation manages project coordination, communication, and stakeholder engagement for SELINA, a project dedicated to environmental protection, restoration, and sustainable use.

In the REST-COAST project, which focuses on restoring coastal ecosystems, Pensoft plays a key role in dissemination, exploitation, and social transformation efforts, helping society grasp the challenges posed by climate change and human impact on coastal biodiversity.

Additionally, Pensoft has a key role in SpongeBoost, a project aimed at enhancing natural water retention in landscapes. Its expertise in communication and dissemination helps share critical research on soil and water interconnectivity, facilitating the replication of these practices across Europe.
