Thank you for your interest in hosting a session during the ESP11 World Congress in Darwin, Australia, from 23-27 June 2025. The conference theme is "From Global to local ecosystem services: pathways to Nature-based Solutions Inspired from Down Under".

You can submit your session proposal using this form. The deadline for submissions has been extended to 5 January 2025.

This will be an in-person conference to provide an enriching experience that allows attendees to fully immerse themselves in the conference, interact with speakers and engage with other participants in real-time. Balancing interaction between in-person and virtual attendees is challenging and we believe going primarily in-person will be the best way to create an engaging and inclusive experience for all participants. However, if it is essential for your session to contain a virtual element, we can discuss ways to facilitate this.

In addition to standard sessions, we welcome alternative session formats such as discussion forums, world cafes, fishbowls, and sessions in which media outputs are presented. Feel free to think out of the box and be creative by proposing alternative session formats.

The Scientific Program Committee will review your session proposal. If your session is reviewed positively, we will send you the guidelines for session hosts soon after.

Please note that as a session host, you will be required to review abstracts submitted to your session and engage in other responsibilities to make your session and the conference successful.
