Invitation, Dates and Venue

Dear friends and colleagues,

We are pleased to share the second announcement and warmly invite you to attend the 33rd Conference of the European Vegetation Survey (EVS), which will be held in Perugia (Italy), from 28 April to 2 May 2025.

The Conference is organised under the patronage of the International Association for Vegetation Science (IAVS), the Italian Botanical Society (SBI), the Italian Society of Vegetation Science (SISV), and the University of Perugia.

Since 1992, this conference has consistently brought together young and established scientists from various fields of vegetation science, representing countries across Europe and beyond, providing an important platform for presenting the latest research, creating opportunities for connection, and facilitating the exchange of ideas.

The scientific programs of each conference have consistently highlighted both mainstream and emerging topics in vegetation science, addressing critical issues such as the diversity, conservation, and restoration of plant communities and habitats in Europe.

The 33rd EVS Conference will feature interesting topics related to classification, patterns and dynamics, monitoring and mapping, invasive species, and biogeographical patterns of European vegetation.

The 33rd EVS Conference will offer four keynote lectures, several thematic sessions, and engaging poster sessions.

The conference will also include two mid-symposium excursions, providing exciting opportunities for European vegetation scientists to explore the extraordinary diversity of plant species, communities, and landscapes of the Umbria Region.

We sincerely hope you will join us in Perugia for this exciting event. Your participation will make the 33rd EVS Conference a memorable and inspiring gathering for the vegetation science community.

Stay tuned for further updates and detailed information about the program, registration, and excursions, which will be available soon on the conference website.

We look forward to welcoming you to Perugia in April 2025!

Warm regards,

The organizing committee
