The 14th International Conference on Biological Invasions – NeoBiota 2026 takes place in Brussels from 7–11 September 2026. The biennial meeting brings together researchers, practitioners, policymakers and other stakeholders from around the world to share current research and perspectives on biological invasions. This year’s programme includes thematic and general sessions, keynote lectures, oral and poster presentations, as well as a field trip.
FISC is joining the conference with a strong team representing different perspectives across invasion science.
Laura A. Meyerson, Professor at the University of Rhode Island and a member of FISC, is one of the conference keynote speakers. On Tuesday morning, she will present “Born from Destruction: Biological Invasions and Restoration Ecology.”
Richard Mally will give an oral presentation entitled “Darwin’s naturalisation conundrum in insects,” co-authored with Rebecca Turner, Cleo Bertelsmeier and Andrew Liebhold.
Other FISC presenters at NeoBiota are Edward Whitney, Shuya Fan, Arka Pal, Aditya Ganesh and Andrew Liebhold, who will contribute poster presentations across the conference programme.
NeoBiota 2026 has already reached its maximum capacity and registration is closed. For those who cannot be in Brussels, we’ll be sharing more of the science, ideas and perspectives brought to the conference by the FISC team over the coming days.
