The British Ecological Society’s (BES) Invasion Science Group is holding its Special Interest Group annual event of 2025 in Edinburgh. Like past years, this event is being held to coincide with the Stakeholder Forum on Non-Native Species hosted by GBNNSS*, which will take place the following day at the same location.
This BES one day, in-person event will bring together academics, practitioners and policy makers to discuss and share ideas between different sectors of invasion science. The day will consist of keynote speakers, early career networking sessions (focusing on engaging across the different sectors), updates on GB policy and lightning talks from researchers and practitioners (from abstract submission) and one-hour workshops (Workshop 1: “Research priorities across sectors for invasive species to guide future academic focus for impact”, Workshop 2: TBC ).

Call for Abstracts

Stakeholder Forum
Participants of the BES event are encouraged to stay on to attend the free GB Stakeholder Forum on Non-native Species on 11th June at the same location, which has taken place every year since the publication of the first GB Strategy for Non-native Species in 2008.

The tour guide was very good. He not only talked about Edinburgh Castle, but also focused on the Royal Mile. The guide was knowledgeable, explained clearly, and started on time.

Edinburgh Old Town

苏河家园

Informative tour to learn about Scottish Whisky, plus the tasting after that, highly recommended.

Calton Hill

Mountain climbing

Carlton Hill is an iconic Edinburgh attraction known for its neoclassical complex, 360-degree city views and rich cultural activities. The design inspiration is based on the Parthenon in Athens. The Greek-style columns on the top of the mountain are magnificent, like the skeleton of a temple solidified by time, and they quietly guard Edinburgh. &zwnj;
