SUMMARY:Biodiversity and Ecosystem eScience Conference (BEeS) 2026
DESCRIPTION:LifeWatch ERIC Biodiversity and Ecosystem eScience Conference (BEeS) is back!  \n\n\n\nThis summer\, we are pleased to invite you to Plovdiv\, Bulgaria\, for a four-day event\, from 7 to 10 July. BEeS is LifeWatch ERIC’s flagship forum for eScience in biodiversity and ecosystem research\, emphasising interoperable data\, reproducible workflows\, and reusable digital services. \n\n\n\nLifeWatch Bulgaria hosts the 2026 edition of the conference at the Agricultural University-Plovdiv. Bulgaria joined LifeWatch ERIC in 2022 as one of its eight Distributed Centres. The event also showcases how LifeWatch ERIC services and communities support collaboration across the infrastructure. \n\n\n\nBEeS 2026 will bring together scientists\, experts\, and innovators to explore challenges and emerging opportunities in biodiversity and ecosystem science. Through a series of high-level plenary sessions\, the conference will address critical topics including biodiversity conservation and species extinction\, ecosystem responses to climate change\, the role of agroecology in sustainable systems\, and the latest frontiers in eScience technologies. \n\n\n\nThe programme is complemented by thematic sessions aligned with LifeWatch ERIC Thematic Service Working Groups\, focusing on practical methods\, workflows\, and service-enabled science. \n\n\n\nThis event promotes dialogue across disciplines and highlights the importance of integrating ecological knowledge\, technological innovation\, and policy frameworks\, acting as a platform to explore collaborative solutions for understanding\, protecting\, and managing biodiversity. A key aim is to accelerate uptake of decision-relevant evidence products that are transparent\, traceable\, and comparable across regions. \n\n\n\nPrelimity Programme\n\n\n\nDay 1\n\n\n14:30 – 15:30 \n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n15:30 – 16:15 \n\n\n\n\n\nPre-conference demo/hands-on session \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n16:15 – 17:15 \n\n\n\n\n\nPre-conference workshop/training session \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n17:15 – 18:30 \n\n\n\n\n\nWelcome Drinks \n\n\n\n\n\n\nDay 2\n\n\n08:00 – 09:00 \n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration and drop off of presentations \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n09:00 – 11:00 \n\n\n\n\n\nContributed session \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11:00 – 11:30 \n\n\n\n\n\nCoffee break  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11:30 – 11:45 \n\n\n\n\n\nOpening and institutional welcome \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11:45 – 12:45 \n\n\n\n\n\nPlenary – Biodiversity conservation: preventing flora and fauna from extinction – Prof. Tatyana Bileva (Agricultural University-Plovdiv)\, Prof. Dessislava Dimitrova (Institute of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Research) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n12:45 – 13:30 \n\n\n\n\n\nLifeWatch ERIC Masterclass \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n13:30 – 14:30 \n\n\n\n\n\nLunch break \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n14:30 – 15:30 \n\n\n\n\n\nTraining sessions (parallel) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n15:30 – 16:15 \n\n\n\n\n\nPlenary – Biodiversity and ecosystem responses to climate change – Prof. Carl Beierkuhnlein (University of Bayreuth\, University of Granada) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n16:15 – 17:15  \n\n\n\n\n\nTraining sessions (parallel) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n17:30 – 18:30 \n\n\n\n\n\nGuided tour in Plovdiv \n\n\n\n\n\n\nDay 3\n\n\n08:00 – 09:00 \n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration and drop off of presentations \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n09:00 – 11:00 \n\n\n\n\n\nContributed session \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11:00 – 11:30 \n\n\n\n\n\nCoffee break  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11:30 – 12:15 \n\n\n\n\n\nPlenary – Agroecology – Prof. Vladislav Popov (Agricultural University-Plovdiv) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n12:15 – 13:00 \n\n\n\n\n\nLifeWatch ERIC Masterclass \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n13:00 – 14:30 \n\n\n\n\n\nLunch break \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n14:30 – 15:30 \n\n\n\n\n\nTraining sessions (parallel) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n15:30 – 16:15 \n\n\n\n\n\nPlenary: New frontiers for eScience technologies – Dr. Anne Fouilloux (LifeWatch ERIC) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n16:15 – 17:15 \n\n\n\n\n\nTraining sessions (parallel) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n17:15 – 18:30 \n\n\n\n\n\nDocumentary Projection \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n19:30/20:00 \n\n\n\n\n\nSocial Dinner \n\n\n\n\n\n\nDay 4\n\n\n08:00 – 09:00 \n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration and drop off of presentations \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n09:00 – 11:00 \n\n\n\n\n\nContributed session \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11:00 – 11:30 \n\n\n\n\n\nCoffee break  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11:30 – 12:15 \n\n\n\n\n\nLifeWatch ERIC Masterclass \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n12:15 – 13:00 \n\n\n\n\n\nRound table and Closing \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlennary Sessions\n\nAgroecology | Presenter: Prof. Vladislav Popov (Agricultural University-Plovdiv)\n\n\n\nBiodiversity and ecosystem responses to climate change | Presenter: Prof. Carl Beierkuhnlein (University of Bayreuth and University of Granada)\n\n\n\nBiodiversity conservation: preventing flora and fauna from extinction | Presenter: Prof. Tatyana Bileva\, Prof. Dessislava Dimitrova (Agricultural University-Plovdiv)\n\n\n\nNew frontiers for eScience technologies | Presenter: Dr. Anne Fouilloux (LifeWatch ERIC)\n\n\n\n\n\nContributed Sessions\n\nUniting science for human\, animal\, plant and ecosystem health\n\n\n\nMetagenomics and eDNA for biodiversity and ecosystems\n\n\n\nAnimal traits\, behavior and bio-tracking\n\n\n\nBiodiversity observatories and environmental monitoring\n\n\n\nHabitat mapping\n\n\n\nBiogeography: biodiversity conservation across regions and ecosystems\n\n\n\nBiodiversity and ecosystem responses to climate change\n\n\n\nRestoration of our oceans and waters\n\n\n\nTaxonomic data services\n\n\n\nSemantics and data curation for biodiversity and ecosystem research\n\n\n\nSoil mission & Microbiology\n\n\n\nAgroecology\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow to Apply?\n\n\n\nYou can register for BEeS 2026 by completing the form below. \n\n\n\n\nRegistration Form\n\n\n\n\nPlease note that this form also collects your interest in the following: \n\n\n\n\nOptional Activities (at your own expense)\n\nGuided Tour – 8 July:A city tour of Plovdiv lasting about one hour\, taking place after the conference.Estimated cost: €10-15 per person.\n\n\n\nSocial Dinner – 9 July:The dinner will take place between 19:30-20:00 (TBC).Estimated cost: TBC.\n\n\n\n\n\nAccommodation OpportunityThe Agricultural University-Plovdiv offers reduced-fee accommodation for Early Career Researchers (within 7 years of PhD completion).Estimated cost: €36 per person.\n\n\n\n\nFurther details regarding the social dinner\, guided tour\, and accommodation will be shared soon on this website. \n\n\n\nRegistration deadline: 15 May \n\n\n\nRegistration will remain open after this date; however\, we may not be able to guarantee access to the optional activities and accommodation listed above.
