Friday, 4 October 2024 Registrations for the 7th Slovenian Entomological Symposium with international attendance (SES7) are open

The Department of Biodiversity once again invites you to this unique scientific meeting, which will take place from January 31 to February 1, 2025, in picturesque Izola. It will bring together leading experts, researchers, and enthusiasts of entomology.

    

The symposium will provide an opportunity for in-depth discussions on the latest discoveries, innovations, and challenges in the insect world, as well as a space for sharing ideas, networking, and collaboration. 

With its rich natural environment and historical heritage, Izola is the perfect place for this important meeting. In addition to professional lectures and workshops, the organisers will ensure pleasant moments of socializing.   

The organisers of the symposiums are the Department of Biodiversity together with the Slovenian Entomological Society of Štefan Michieli.    

Before the official start of the symposium, a Biocreative Workshop (From Knowledge to Story) will be organized. 

SHORT DESCRIPTION: 

Knowledge has been passed down through storytelling for millennia. Even today, we love stories. So could we combine biology with creativity? At the Biocreative Workshop, participants will learn how to write a story for children with biological content. They will learn how to present their scientific discoveries to the general public in a simple, understandable and entertaining way. As part of the workshop, participants will try to create their own stories about nature and get feedback. 

For the workshop, you need paper, pencil, crayons, some biological knowledge and imagination.
