Dear colleagues,
We wish to extend a cordial invitation to you to participate in the 10th Meeting of the European Hedgehog Research Group. The event will take place from Thursday, 16th January to Friday, 17th January 2025 in Berlin, Germany and will be held in English. Registration and abstract submission are open.
Time has passed since the last meeting in Prague and we are very much looking forward to welcoming you to Berlin next year! Our goal is to bring together researchers and conservationists from all over Europe and everyone who has an interest in hedgehogs. We will discuss all aspects of hedgehog biology, such as ecology, behaviour, health and diseases, genetics, census and surveys, and conservation. We will put together a diverse programme with interesting presentations and cordially invite you to also present your research topic at the meeting. In addition, there will be plenty of time for questions, discussions and exchange.
We look forward to welcoming you to the 10th meeting of the European Hedgehog Research Group in Berlin in January 2025!
