9th Meeting of the IOBC-WPRS Working Group "Landscape Management for Functional Biodiversity", Milan, Italy. |
| Aims & Topics |
 Considering public concern about the decline of biodiversity and the role of agriculture and urban environment in contributing to this decline, the Working Group acts as a platform for exchange of concepts and research results. While intensive management practices, are standard practice in conventional farming systems, their undesirable side effects are increasingly recognized. There is consequently a growing interest for a transition towards more ecologically-based methodologies, but there remain still many scientific challenges. The aim of the meeting is to bring together the latest insights on current topics in landscape management for functional biodiversity, including the management for multiple ecosystem services, the identification of promising crop and non-crop management options to support biodiversity-based pest management, and initiatives to meet the challenge to halt the ongoing decline of important farmland species. This moment will be important to identified promising areas for future researches. Registration and welcome meeting are scheduled for 8 March, from Tuesday to Friday oral presentations, poster sessions and discussions will be scheduled. During the Symposium an excursion followed by a conference dinner will be planned. The programme ends on Friday 12 at lunch-time. A more detailed program will be provided later on. |

26-30 April 2021: ICBC2, Second International Congress of Biological Control, Davos, Switzerland. |
| Aims & Topics |
 This congress builds upon the 1st International Congress of Biological Control (held in Beijing in 2018), and the 1st International Conference of Biological Control (held in Bengaluru, India in 2018). Following the lead of these two meetings, the combined ICBC2 will provide a platform for multi- and inter-disciplinary biological control research and application. This congress is unique in serving as a meeting point for scientists and practitioners that are working on a wide breadth of biological control targets including insect pests, plant and animal diseases, weeds and invasive vertebrates. Biological control science has experienced transformational advances in various critical areas over the past decades including risk assessment, commercial mass-rearing, and the elucidation of complex interactions. The discipline is therefore more poised than ever to contribute substantially to solving the world's grand environmental and health challenges. A key to harnessing these advances for maximum benefit is to create strong linkages among different sub-disciplines, targets and approaches of biological control. |
