SER2025 - Call for Abstracts!
The Society for Ecological Restoration has put the call out for Abstracts for the 11th World Conference on Ecological Restoration (SER2025)!
This call is open for oral presentations, lightning talks and poster presentations. All presentations at SER2025 are expected to be in person in Denver. However, virtual poster presentations will be considered. All abstracts must be submitted online through the link provided below.
As we near the midpoint of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, SER2025 is strategically positioned to translate global restoration commitments into actionable strategies. The conference brings together experts from scientific, practical, policy, governmental, financial, and socio-cultural sectors to share knowledge essential for advancing restoration initiatives. These efforts aim to sustain biodiversity, enhance resilience in a changing climate, and re-establish an ecologically healthy relationship between nature and culture.
SER2025 will contribute to advancing global restoration goals outlined in established standards, frameworks, and laws. The focus now shifts to implementation, ensuring projects are knowledge-based and socially inclusive, with the aim of restoring 30% of degraded ecosystems by 2030. SER2025 will equip participants with the resources, tools, and knowledge to turn global commitments into tangible ecological and societal benefits.
Submissions related to one of the eight thematic series of the conference are invited. The eight thematic series are:
1. Improving restoration outcomes through collaboration
2. Intergenerational partnerships for building restoration action on the ground
3. Recognizing your roots, looking forward for the future
4. Raising the bar on restoration success: Improving quality of actions rather than quantity
5. Restoration in my backyard – urban context
6. From Commitment to action on global targets
7. Restoration and One Health
8. Mobilizing Restoration through Art and Culture
Early submissions are highly encouraged, and reviews will be conducted on a rolling basis. Abstracts must be submitted through thesubmission portal.
