Ecology in an Era of Uncertainty

Ecological research is well acquainted with uncertainty, whether it is uncertainty in measurements, mechanisms, predictions, careers, or funding. However, new challenges arising from digital intelligence (AI), post-pandemic career development and engagement introduce new uncertainties and opportunities that affect our professional activities and funding sources. For this year’s meeting, we gather to both continue scientific discourse on innovative ecological research, as well as to develop strategies to best manage these challenges using our collective knowledge and experiences. By sharing multidisciplinary and creative solutions, our community will continue to be resilient and meet tomorrow’s challenges.
