Interdisciplinary meeting 2025

Non-target effects of alternatives to pesticides: an interdisciplinary meeting

Du 02 avril 2025 au 04 avril 2025

Montpellier

The ENI-BC+ network is launching a call for participation in the following meeting in Montpellier on 2-3-4 April 2025, with the aim of developing an international network.

Who we are? The French network ENI-BC+ (Effets Non-Intentionnels des BioContrôles) brings together a community of scientists from a wide range of disciplines, from the biological sciences to the humanities. The aim is to use the same criteria to assess the effects generated by all the techniques and practices used to protect crops and livestock, and to manage vector-borne diseases. Revealing and comparing non-target effects in all their diversity is necessary to guide the choice of solutions in a variety of contexts and territories. This will also enable us to identify sustainability criteria, essential for guiding changes in agricultural practices.

Why are we organizing a meeting? To form an interdisciplinary and international network to co-construct research questions on non-target effects of alternatives to pesticides.

Why get involved? We're looking for participants who want to develop new collaborations, contribute to collective synthesis reviews, or set up interdisciplinary projects. The meeting will alternate the sharing of original results, mini-reviews and case studies with workshops covering as wide a range of approaches as possible.

For inspiration (non-exhaustive lists):

Diversity of approaches: environmental sciences, management sciences, biology, linguistics, sociology, healths, economics, geography, history, chemistry, psychology, ecotoxicology, information-communication, ecology, ...

Examples of themes: assessment of ecosystem services, representation of non-target effects in media/scientific communications, biological adaptations in pests, One Health, power challenges, struggles for/obstacles to recognition of non-target effects, regulatory issues, historical or territorial insights, etc.

How to apply? As the number of participants is limited to 100, applications will be selected by a scientific committee in order to best represent all disciplinary fields and the diversity of perspectives around these issues. Please fill in the application form.
