Conference topics

 

The main theme of the “Life with bears – 26th International Conference on Bear Research and Management” is human-bear coexistence in human dominated and politically fragmented landscapes. Specific conference topics are designed in a way to welcome recent research results, technical advances, and case studies on a wide spectrum of issues relevant to ensuring a long-term coexistence of bears and humans. We invite you to contribute to achieving this overarching goal by sharing your research or management story at the conference.
