Dates

The conference ran from Monday June 2nd to Thursday June 5th. The main program started around 1pm on the Monday. We also offered a post-conference excursion on Friday June 6th. 

 

Themes

For Wolves Across Borders 2025, four main themes were determined for the conference. The themes can be found in the blue boxes and reflect the current issues regarding human-wolf coexistence, wolf ecology and management. 

​

Structure

The conference program featured plenary presentations, panel discussions and workshops. There was also a series of parallel sessions. Participants presented their latest research, innovative projects, and fieldwork experiences related to wolves. Your expertise and insights were a valuable addition to our program, and we were honoured to have you share your work with our audience. ​
