About Swedish Biodiversity Symposium
Swedish Biodiversity Symposium, Sweden's largest interdisciplinary conference where researchers, experts and stakeholders in biodiversity gather to promote positive development in the field. See you in Gothenburg, 21 - 23 October 2025.
We are in a situation where biodiversity is declining at a record rate, threatening humans' continued livelihood and well-being..
At the same time, there is much research that can contribute to solutions to the biodiversity crisis, driving international decisions to conserve biodiversity, with many practical examples of successful conservation efforts. In addition, biodiversity solutions can often be combined with solutions to the climate crisis. In these contexts, science has a role in supporting decisions on national measures to implement international commitments.
To seize these opportunities and address the biodiversity crisis, several major Swedish organisations are joining forces to create Sweden's first Swedish Biodiversity Symposium. It will bring together researchers, other biodiversity experts and stakeholders to promote positive developments in the field.
Our vision is that the broad collaboration between many organisations and the fact that the conference operates at the interface between research and society will contribute to new opportunities to develop work on biodiversity in Sweden, as well as internationally.
