Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) panel
EMPSEB recognises the value of diversity in research, perspectives and approaches. Past meetings have brought together researchers from a variety of backgrounds and cultures, enriching the conference with a range of global perspectives. To further celebrate and strengthen this commitment, EMPSEB31 will host a dedicated diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) panel discussion. This session will provide a space for participants to share experiences, ask questions and discuss important issues around equitable access and diverse voices in science.

Nature field excursion
We invite you to join a leisurely field trip to the beautiful Fichtelberg area. Take a stroll through German mountains, discover the local biodiversity and enjoy the chance to connect with fellow participants in a relaxed, natural setting.

Soft-skills workshop
