37th Conference of the European Cetacean Society – AIMM communications
The 37th annual European Cetacean Society Conference will be held in wonderful Dundee (Scotland), from 22nd to 24th of April 2026. The conference venue is called the LIVEHOUSE, in central Dundee!
The conference theme is: “Basics to Benefits”.
Every discovery and breakthrough starts with curiosity. This year’s conference theme “Basics to Benefits” celebrates the full journey of marine mammal science – from the foundational research that uncovers knowledge to the applied studies that turn this understanding into action for conservation and management.
By embracing contributions from a wide range of sources, and valuing the search for knowledge for its own sake as much as its application, we recognise that today’s discoveries and insights and tomorrow’s applications to conservation and management are both born from the same drive to understand and protect. This theme aims to reflect this spectrum of marine mammal research, exploring and showcasing its challenges and opportunities, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation.
